+1 as side note:
A potentially better way to offer demos, samples and framework templates would be external plugins or repos. Not sure if anyone remembers but around NB 5-6 there were the community maintained NetBeans OpenGL Pack (and later similarly named -CL Pack) which bundled many getting started projects (some were translated from C and could be used in conjunction with tutorials/books etc) and other utilities. (this was pre-git. Today, sample projects would likely be kept in a git repo) This leads to better UX since it adds context for the user when it is discovered via guide/wiki or the web page of the technology and also keeps the maintenance responsibility at the source. (full disclosure: I maintained the NB GL/CL packs back in the days) best regards, michael On 1/10/26 22:34, László Kishalmi wrote: > The gradle.htmlui module is going to be removed as no maintainer shown > interest in it. > > On Tue, Jan 6, 2026 at 10:24 AM Laszlo Kishalmi <[email protected]> > wrote: > >> Dear all, >> >> I'm proposing the removal of the gardle.htmlui module PR#9125 >> <https://github.com/apache/netbeans/pull/9125>.
