I am definitely up for a volunteer for this !
J2Demo, Stylepad and SwingSet2 are completely missing netbeans projects.
As I think I mentioned in the bug report, that's because when they were
open-sourced,
the project files, because they live in a parallel directory, were
overlooked.
I don't think it is worth open-sourcing those non-working projects now
as a starter unless
you absolutely need them but I doubt you do. Same pattern as all the others.
You can use the bug ID 8359381 I submitted in your PR

Hi all,
Yes, those "nbproject" files are very outdated and can't even be
opened with the latest NetBeans versions.
Demos are still shipped by different people [1].
I think it's worth updating and keeping them around, because it makes
it easier for newbies to open them in an IDE and experiment with them.
I can update them to the latest NetBeans versions if you want.
Cheers,
Antonio

There are netbeans projects for the client demos.

The question, as posed in the subject line, is do we really need to
keep these?
I'd like to delete them if there's no one who is interested and
willing to maintain them
