> I think that instead of attempting to be "all-singing, all-dancing", a better option is to make all the scripts far simpler and much more limited in scope; +1 > Those with more complex requirements should be directed to Maven or Gradle. Everyone should be directed to Maven or Gradle, unless they have legacy requirements. This is why the build systems are ordered in the way that they are, and through a lot of discussion. > I also suggest that the New Projects page needs to give at least some guidance for users who may be new to Netbeans and/or Java programming. Certainly something that could be improved, I think, and hopefully an easy task (from a coding point of view). > Since I've already made a start, I'll continue with the scripts, although I've not actually signed on as an official developer (yet). Just open a pull request when you're ready. There is no need to to be signed on as an "official developer" to start making contributions.
