So, at this point, what is the repository of record for ongoing development of that subset of NetBeans included in the initial contribution? I mean real functional changes, not licensing or build stuff.
Maybe I am missing some very obvious FAQ (and I surely missed prior discussions), but I looked in http://netbeans.apache.org/ https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/NetBeans+Transition+Process https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/How+to+Participate and none appear to say definitively. I ask because there appear to be at least some divergent changes. For example, https://github.com/apache/incubator-netbeans/commits/master/jshell.support/src/org/netbeans/modules/jshell/support/ShellSession.java does not include http://hg.netbeans.org/main-silver/rev/fcaaa60addf7 There seem to be bigger differences, too; for example `org.openide.windows.ModeSelector` dates back to May in Mercurial, yet seems to be absent from Git. If you simply check Tools » Plugins » Updates on a fresh build you see that there are a bunch of updates coming from the original UC servers; and these of course only show changes which happened to involve bumping some `OpenIDE-Module-Specification-Version`. So is the code drop based on some very old snapshot? This is not encouraging to developers who want to make sure changes they spend time working on are sent to the “right” fork. If some divergence is indeed deliberate, this ought to be called out somewhere prominent.
