> But what about updating core application by user?

This self-updating capabilities is not compatible with Linux packaging, so this might be disabled by default. SUSE users should use the Java:packages OBS project, which offers a newest versions of Java packages. If it will makes a sense, I could create a separate project for netbeans.

> And what about managing plug-ins as user?

You can install and update a new plugin as a user (it will be in ~/.netbeans/). But netbeans is installed with some plugins built-in (svn, Java GUI, eclipse project importer, …), which are in /usr and cannot be edited by regular user.

Good news. But what about updating core application by user? And what about managing plug-ins as user?

Awesome! Great job.

Nimbus LAF can be used with Netbeans by using the switch –laf Nimbus
You must use jdk 1.6.0_10 or greater

I suggest to change the wording in the first sentence from “it will be in monolithic package in non-oss …” to “it was a monolithic package in non-oss …”. The current one is pretty confusing.
