A NetBeans release is produced from the NetBeans Mercurial repository. All the language modules: Java, Javascript, C/C++, etc. you see there after install are Oracle / NetBeans code.
The Plugins Portal has some other, 3rd party modules which don't come bundled with the official builds but users are free to install them. --emi On Sat, Sep 24, 2016 at 3:59 PM, Jochen Theodorou <blackd...@gmx.org> wrote: > On 24.09.2016 05:34, Wade Chandler wrote: > [...] > >> I ask these obvious rhetorical questions to get to this point: Would it be >> feasible for NetBeans to succeed among competing projects with such a >> stipulation that all hosted or distributed plugins be contributed to >> Apache >> or licensed the same?
