some more input: The Eclipse platform (aka core) project has a single Git repository [1] but group the icons therein by plugin. Also, each plugin ships its own icons, aside from a few very generic icons like "Close", "Expand", etc, which are present in the org.eclipse.ui and org.eclipse.jface plugins. They then use a Maven plug-in [2] (internally using Batik, I believe) to render the SVGs as PNGs in both low and high DPI versions. The plug-in also has the option to apply different CSS stylesheets to the SVGs, to switch between dark and light mode icons, but I haven't used that feature yet. While the naming conventions used for generated files (e.g., "@2x" suffix) currently are probably Eclipse specific, the plug-in might be a good basis for NetBeans icon pipeline as well.
