Hi all, As noted recently, in India a new NetBeans team is being built by Oracle, currently consisting of two engineers, with the intention of growing this out to six.
These engineers will join the engineers working on the preparation of the code donations, but not for the 1st code donation, which we're trying to wrap up. Note that the reviewed code is listed at the end of this page, as well as the code in process: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Apache+Transition Current items being reviewed for the 1st code donation: 1. The newly written code since the review started (item 5d-xii above). 2. Other files that are needed though that are not part of a cluster (need to be added to the document above as item 5d-xiii), e.g., the 'build.xml' for building NetBeans and a few other files that are essential to NetBeans builds. 3. Binaries -- all kinds of code is found inside binaries, e.g., launchers and installers, which we'd need to review before donating them to Apache, though donating them wouldn't make sense since Apache doesn't distribute binaries. We'll need to exclude binaries from the donation and make them available in some other way, i.e., via an organization supporting Apache NetBeans, some would need to be downloaded for building NetBeans and others during installation of NetBeans. Images that cannot be donated have already been greyed out and copyright notices have been added in a "best effort" approach, i.e., some files break with copyright notices so it doesn't make sense to put them in some of the files depending on their formats. Anyway, that's where things are and we're meeting once or twice a week in wrapping up the final points, as listed above. Thanks, Gj
