Netbeans Platform application using the plugin system

Question

I am writing a Netbeans Platform application. I want to give this application to the customer while it is in development state and whenever there are updates on a specific module I want to handle it in a way that the customer can use the netbeans plugin updater to update the modules. Therefore I will get a server to host the different modules, also signing the Jars is no problem.

In which way do I have to host the modules and how can I specify which modules are updatable? How do I have to specify/declare the server where the modules are hosted?
