Apache NetBeans Incubator Proposal
Geertjan Wielenga posted
a proposal to the Apache incubator list to adopt NetBeans, an open
source development environment, tooling platform, and application
framework. "NetBeans has been run by Oracle, with the majority of
code contributions coming from Oracle. The specific reason for moving
to Apache is to expand the diversity of contributors and to increase
the level of meritocracy in NetBeans. Apache NetBeans will be actively
seeking new contributors and will welcome them warmly and provide a
friendly and productive environment for purposes of providing a
development environment, tooling environment, and application
framework." (Thanks to Stephen Kitt)
