Betreff: AW: NetBeans 9 release date

Yeah sure, but this is more about communicating. I mean not everyone is willing 
to create a plugin or Change Code of the netbeans core as it is. Because if you 
see to other Projects like VS Code or other OSS maybe 1M People are users and 
from them 1% or less, are actively contributors and I think that will not come 
to an end anyway. Not all of us have full time to work on that Feature request 
or bug, that we created to fix it by our own. So all of my 200 tickets I can’t 
fix by my own, because lack of time and Knowledge. I will fix of Course soem, 
but not all.

Cheers

Chris

Betreff: Re: NetBeans 9 release date

Yes, we're working right now on changing the licenses to Apache. Hard to
know when that will be done, but it should be within this month, I think.

We could then focus on releasing that -- i.e., the first release would
consist of all the new JDK 9 features (Jigsaw, JShell, etc), together with
then relicensed source code.

And, in terms of people only wanting to be users -- I think that time is
coming to an end. People will need to contribute -- whether it is answers
to questions on the mailing list, new FAQs, blog entries, Twitter, code, or
whatever -- everyone that uses NetBeans will need to become actively
involved in the community, which doesn't take much time at all -- a nice
tweet about NetBeans takes about 5 seconds to write.

I think, though this is just my opinion, that people simply using NetBeans
and not giving anything back at all, is something we need to actively move
away from.
