The L10N stuff would certainly need more love. It was an afterthought, mostly 
ignored (not needed) by developers of NetBeans. As such the scripts could get 
out of sync. For example the NetBeans 10 restructured its sources to per 
cluster layout - that may also influence the L10N stuff a lot and nobody 
(certainly not me) was thinking of the impact on L10N bits.

The goal should be to press F11 (type ant build) somewhere and have the 
changed JAR copied to the appropriate place. So, subsequent "ant tryme" uses 
the changes.

PR is #1 thing. Instructions #2. Then the discussion can start.

From what I hear it seems we want to merge the L10N files into the main 
repository. Where? l10n subfolder? 

How do we want to build the localized bits? How do we want to distribute them? 
All the translations will be included in the source release. Should they all 
be included in the binary release? Should they be only available as NBMs, so 
users can download just L10N for their locale?

Good luck getting Apache NetBeans L10Ned!
