William,

It seems like you are trying to do it the hard way. I tried something
similar too, but it seemed to be too complicated with very little actual
benefit, so I did it the easy way:
https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file/home:tuxjdk/netbeans/netbeans.spec?expand=1

Breaking the cluster is mostly replicated from actual NetBeans packages.

Netbeans 8.2 is packaged on Gentoo using Netbeans ant build system.<br>
That is fine, and has no issues under 1.8. Of course under 9 things<br>
change. Also Gentoo being from source, it was difficult to get every<br>
bit of Netbeans from source. Many aspects used pre-built shipped binary<br>

newer versions. Some shipped were able to be swapped out with system,<br>
but the entire thing is cumbersome. Not to mention its split up, but<br>
