For Java Libraries, it would be great if there's a way how to store the library's physical extent(s) along with the library definition. When the library is linked in a project, the physical extents will be incorporated into project's Logical model rather than generated anew.
Could be solved together with project metadata: http://java.netbeans.org/models/java/project-model.html
This was in fact solved by solving issue #24802. However, currently the unused storage partitions are not automatically deleted from the disk. It should be discussed with UI and HIE to come up with a feasible solution for that.
