Hi Geertjan, Nice to see progression in donation.
I cannot remember if community-uml was the tools we were using for teaching purpose. But if it was the one in this screen [1] I may try to help if donated. Best Regards Eric [1] https://netbeans.org/images_www/v6/5/screenshots/uml.png -----Message d'origine----- De : Geertjan Wielenga <geert...@apache.org> Envoyé : mercredi 11 septembre 2019 10:02 À : dev <dev@netbeans.apache.org> Objet : Current state of Oracle donation of NetBeans to Apache Hi all, Long-ish e-mail on current status, with helpful headers in between. *4th Donation* The 4th donation, focused primarily on C/C++ support has gone through auditing and we're satisfied that what we're donating to Apache from Oracle really is Oracle's to donate. The source code is now in a ZIP file at Oracle Legal, after which documents need to be signed, and then the 4th donation will be complete and the code handed over to Apache. The o.n.swing.laf.dark mlodule is also included in the 4th donation. This will be done soon but not soon enough to be included in the 11.2 release -- since aside from donating the code, there'll be quite some work of relicensing everything to Apache and getting everything to work correctly within Apache NetBeans. It looks to me like the 11.3 release, scheduled for January[1] should be able to include the C/C++ features, assuming the donation and integration is complete in that timeframe. *5th Donation* After that is the 5th donation, which will focus on the clusters nb.cluster.dlight and nb.cluster.extra. The C/C++ modules have a build-time dependency on nb.cluster.dlight so until the 5th donation is done, we'll need to depend on a binary at build time of the relevant parts of that cluster. Included in this donation will be the source code of the Jira module, as requested on this mailing list. *Contrib Repository* In parallel, there's the question of the 'contrib' cluster. Some of the modules in there were experimental plugins written by Oracle employees while others are under the OCA (Oracle Contributor Agreement) by external third party contributors. The latter should probably simply be able to donate their modules to Apache NetBeans, without Oracle needing to be involved in any way. However, we're getting Oracle Legal opinion on this, just to be sure. And we probably don't want all of the contrib repository anyway, some clear guidance from the community here would help. *And then...* After the above have been handled, the question is what to deal with next, if anything. We have these listed for donation but the question is whether anyone is waiting for these or actually going to be working on them: nb.cluster.javacard nb.cluster.mobility community-ruby community-soa community-uml community-visualweb What is the level of interest in the above areas of NetBeans? If you're going to write in response "we must really have this in Apache NetBeans" will you also be the one driving that code forward, adding new features, and fixing related bugs yourself? The transition page[2] has been updated to reflect the above.
