Here's how to participate: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/How+to+Participate
Yes, please create bug/feature requests in Apache NetBens Jira: https://issues.apache.org/jira/projects/NETBEANS/issues/NETBEANS-7?filter=allopenissues No, an Oracle Contributor Agreement is irrelevant in Apache. The approach would be to create an issue and attach your patch there. Someone who is a committer will integrate it. Over time, depending on your level of activity, you'll be asked whether you'd like to become a committer. You don't apply to become a committer, it's something that the existing committers will approach you about, based on your activity. In the meantime, providing patches is the way to get your fixes and enhancements into the Apache NetBeans codebase. As soon as we get the 1st code donation into Apache, we'd like to begin wrapping it up and doing our first incubator release. We'd probably start accepting code fixes and patches and so on after that first release, which we need to go through to get out of the incubator.
