In fact, if anything our license change makes things better as the current NB plugin has more licensing issues as it mixes code from NetBeans and from the original LAF. For that matter, the whole core of Intellij is also Apache licensed [2] - one thing I'm hoping is that with our licensing change there might be some scope for useful collaboration on some things. In particular, it's no secret I think JavaFX is a dead-end. I'm not sure I foresee a time when either project moves UI to JavaFX - maybe I'm wrong. In the meantime, while we're both using a UI toolkit that is semi-deprecated, maybe there is useful collaboration to be done around Swing? Interestingly, given all the work / posts I've done around dark custom themes, and that I use a fork of Darcula for the Praxis LIVE UI, my NetBeans install proudly displays stock Nimbus on all 3 OS, and has done for years! ;-) Best wishes, Neil [1] - https://github.com/bulenkov/Darcula [2] - https://github.com/JetBrains/intellij-community -- Neil C Smith Artist & Technologist www.neilcsmith.net Praxis LIVE - hybrid visual IDE for creative coding - www.praxislive.org
