Hi Geertjan,
I know it is a minor point, but were you successful to schedule the dark
theme support ahead from the last donation?
Darcula is kind of depending on that one, though maybe one or two
classes form them.

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.
