Hey Ken, In Apache NetBeans, you should definitely be on a dedicated team that helps ensure the code generated from wizards is up to date. I.e., you'd provide example code and corrections to existing code -- and probably I or someone else would be able to point you to where in the source code the templates are found, you'd create an issue explaining what needs to be changed, you'd check out the NetBeans source code, and you'd then change the templates as described in the issue you had created.
You and all other lecturers would be able to provide feedback -- and even modify templates yourself -- or create new templates -- based on the needs of your students. I'm looking forward to this direct way of working with NetBeans that lecturers will be able to have, once we have everything set up in Apache.
