Hi,
Of course you may fork that source code either totally or partially and
modify and enhance it as you see fit. That's what open source is all
about. You may then create a NetBeans plugin and request for it to be
published in the NetBeans portal, for instance.
Things you should keep in mind:
1- You must respect the source code license (i.e., you cannot change the
GPLv2+CPE/CDDL license to Apache License, for instance, unless the
original authors, whoever they are, give you permission to do so).
2- You must keep the copyright notices (you should add yours to your
modifications too).
Since the code is GPLv2+CPE or CDDL, it cannot be used in Apache
projects (i.e., it cannot be integrated in an Apache repository), but
can live as a NetBeans plugin(s) elsewhere.
HTH,
Antonio

this or how should we do this? Should all of them treated as 3rd party
