A year or so ago I converted the old netbeans contrib repo to maven. In fact, I have no idea if the contrib contents were ever donated to Apache or what became of them.
At any rate, I finally got around to getting a continuous build of all of it up and running, and threw a few I consider must-have on my NetBeans update server: https://timboudreau.com/modules/ (also there are an alternate dark look and feel + editor theme, and that visual-library editor tabs replacement I wrote a while back) If anyone wants to root around in the full universe of contrib nbms, here's everything that could be built (I have no idea what actually works): https://timboudreau.com/builds/job/netbeans-contrib-mavenized/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/ Might be interesting to see if the fairly complete sets of language support modules such as Erlang and Python are viable - if they build, they should work...(famous last words) -Tim -- http://timboudreau.com
