Not only do we have these three DTDs that are licensed LGPL, we also have the LGPL Hibernate 4.3.1 JAR in the Java cluster.

I'd be in favor of removing Hibernate completely from Apache NetBeans and making it available as some kind of separate plugin, with the source code hosted outside Apache, i.e., on GitHub somewhere.
