I am not quite sure it is not our mission - I think our mission is to
support people using NetBeans, and I think we should at least try to keep
old things running if we can.
Assuming this project cannot at this time host the artifacts on the Apache
infrastructure (there were talks about it on legal-discuss, but it didn't
progress too far), I wonder if netbeans.osuosl.org could be a place to host
at least the Maven repository and at least parts of the last non-Apache
release (like the zips). Is there someone we could ask?
Thanks,
Jan
