Using scp or rsync to sync Netbeans libraries between two machines

I was (am) in the middle of playing around with Jenkins CI, and I had the need to resolve source code dependencies of supporting libraries. Currently, my Netbeans based projects don’t use Maven or Ivy (or Gradle), so I have to resolve those dependencies manual. The first step, however, is getting the libraries on the Jenkins server so I can register them with Jenkins.
Source Location of Glassfish on Java.net Causes Netbeans 6.9 to Fail On “Download Now” Install

Much has changed with Oracle’s recent acquisition of Sun Microsystems. Most noted has been Oracle consolidation and relocation of information from Sun websites. In addition to Oracle’s branding of Java, many pages have moved or have been killed. One of these links, important to Netbeans, is the location to download Glassfish for automatic installation. I run/virtualize Ubuntu v11.04 for one of many development environments, and for those who use Ubuntu you know all too well how that distribution is slow with merging current releases. For instance, I’ve been running Netbeans v6.9 since v10.10, and it looks like I’ll be running it until v11.10. With that said, I’m stuck with v6.9.1 at the moment. Unfortunately, there is a bug in version of Netbeans prior to v7 that is a result of Oracle migrating website content.
