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."
