Hi all,

4 years ago I created the jfx archetyes repository, https://github.com/errael/javafx-maven-archetypes-netbeans, so that jfx projects would work "out of the box" with debugging, profiling, jlink... on NetBeans. It's artifact is on maven and used from javafx/javafx2.kit/src/org/netbeans/modules/javafx2/kit/JavaFXWizardIterator.java. It was based on, not forked from, https://github.com/openjfx/javafx-maven-archetypes.

It was incorporated into NetBeans with

   [NETBEANS-3730] Use NewProject JavaFX archetypes tailored for NetBeans
   https://github.com/apache/netbeans/pull/1983

amid controversy. A last resort solution.

Some dev group discussion from February 2020

The hope was that at some point NB could start using the official version. There was some discussion of coming up with some standard actions, Neil suggested

Could this be a possibility for cross-IDE collaboration with some linking
with Maven team? AFAIK there's not a standard way for a Maven project or
archetype to expose what to execute for common IDE actions like run, debug,
etc.? Surely a vendor neutral option for that would be useful?

AFAIK, there was no such work.

For reference, from openjfx there's

   Add debug execution to the created archetypes
   https://github.com/openjfx/javafx-maven-archetypes/pull/10
   (Opened March 2020, Merged April 2021)

   add nbactions #7
   https://github.com/openjfx/javafx-maven-archetypes/issues/7
   (Opened November 2019)

Anyway, saw https://gluonhq.com/products/javafx/ today and the minimum jdk for javax has recently changed (Is Netbeans going to jdk-17 soon?) and was reminded of this repo. Vaguely recall some discussion of a NB repo for things like this.

Is there a NB repo where this can go?
