The only main part still needing to be donated by Oracle to Apache relates to C/C++ features. The rest has been donated. Is that what you’re missing?
You’re needed to be involved in the process — i.e., your own lack of involvement is a key factor in the process not being complete. Do you need to know Java to contribute? No you don’t: our documentation is as important as anything else and reviewing tutorials, all on GitHub now, requires no deep knowledge of either Java or NetBeans. Are you going to get off the sidelines and join in? We need you and working through tutorials, creating issues, and providing pull requests is in no way difficult and an hour or so here and there is all that is needed.
