Hi Glenn,
the index is downloaded to tmp in compressed form and then imported into
a lucene index which should be in the netbeans cache folder (about 1.9GB).
The cache location can be changed via the regular
netbeans_default_cachedir property (netbeans.conf or CLI flag).
All temp files should be automatically cleaned up but it is possible
that something remains in tmp if NB is closed during a late stage of the
extraction process - but thats why its in tmp :)
i have some pending PRs in that area, although some are blocked by the
JDK 8 requirement of NB which is a bit sad but it is what it is.
https://github.com/apache/netbeans/pull/5646
https://github.com/apache/netbeans/pull/4999
https://github.com/apache/netbeans/pull/4971
i got also some ideas how to reduce the index size but this would
require 4999 first.

I keep a relatively small OS partition (typically around 24G) and put
everything else on other partitions. Unfortunately, this means that when
NetBeans decides to download the entire Maven index, I lose about 5-6G,
often exhausting the free space on my OS partition. And of course if it
fails, it will try again...
Is there a way to tell NetBeans where to do the indexing? The files in
/tmp are the guilty ones, and are often left behind after failed indexing.
What about Emilian's Maven Remote Search plugin? Could something like
that help? (Looks like it currently doesn't work because it uses unpack200).
