I do not necessarily agree they are separate projects. I think they are separate products. There is a NetBeans ecosystem, and I see much of what will be in the IDE and the platform, whether for 3rd party app usage, or the IDE, being pieces of that ecosystem. There are inevitably pieces that can be their own projects, but you can not have the IDE without its underpinnings, which is the platform, without it being something different IMO.
Sure, they could be split, but for some of the pieces I think that granularity is at a source repository level, but not a full project level. To do that before intaking NetBeans as it is would be a cluster and a half, and would majorly delay a lot of what needs to be done. I think if there is will to do that work, then it will bubble itself up regardless, but that will definitely take some time, and if during incubation, then fine, but I doubt there will be such a will for that much work before the platform and IDE can be released here.
