emilianbold commented on issue #2000: Adding full support for Wildfly 17, 18 URL: https://github.com/apache/netbeans/pull/2000#issuecomment-598345657 > If I remember correctly, the Schemas and DTDs are used to create code that is build and my understanding is, that the license transcends from the Schema to the generated code. This would mean, that we could not release the plugin from Apache NetBeans. As somebody that doesn't even do JavaEE and doesn't even care about any particular web server, let alone JBoss or Wildfly, my angle here is: 1. How can we add Wildfly back to the official NetBeans tree so it gets released to all the users. 2. How can we make it easy so older JBoss / Wildfly versions with problematic schemas are supported for users. The answer to 1. seems easy: we just don't include the old schemas and we re-add the plugin to NetBeans using only the schemas that are acceptable (under and Apache 2.0 license, or whatever). For an answer to 2 we have to get creative, the same way we did it for nb-javac and other situations. My idea is that a 2nd "companion" plugin could be added perhaps to the plugin portal. This 2nd plugin would register "somewhere" (if it's just schema, perhaps in a layer file, if it's also generated code then some sort of service in the lookup) the old stuff which the Wildfly plugin would pick up and expand its support to all versions. In the end, maybe this PR shouldn't even have to fix both 1 and 2. I think just getting 1 would be progress. So how about @ehsavoie just deletes the license-wise non-compliant schemas and updates the PR? Then we have a PR that is acceptable and we can move the plugin from contrib/ back into NetBeans. Later on @ehsavoie can make a PR for whatever hooks are necessary for the companion plugin.
