Hi all, Thanks James, yes, it's been an interesting challenge getting as much of NetBeans as possible over to Apache, and the process is still ongoing. :-) And, indeed, Azul is a central place to be right now.
Others, re the branding of NetBeans with JDKs, the name -- if the binary is unchanged, which I believe would be the case (unless the JDK vendor were to bundle NetBeans with some vendor-specific modules, which initially at least does not seem like something that will happen), then the name will simply be "Apache NetBeans", e.g., a bundle at Azul would probably be named "Zulu JDK with Apache NetBeans".
