No problem :) I guessed that parsing text files for the location would need to be removed, so I have a branch nearly ready for PR that still has two URLs per Glassfish version: a main location that will follow re-directs, and a fallback that expects the URL to be correct
So, for example, NB could first try and download Glassfish from netbeans.osuosl.org/binaries and fallback to downloading from download.oracle.com, or vice versa. Whilst I was in there, I also noticed that support for downloading & registering GF5.0 was essentially already implemented, but commented out, and I believe I've figured out how to add to add download/registering support for GF4.1.2, so if there are no objections from the community, I will add that in too.
