That blog does not mention any plans to donate those vital parts to make Apache NetBeans an IDE for (modern)  Web Applications.

Does that mean there is no such plan?

And yes, I am not a contributor - I am a user and have been for over 15 years.
The community does not only consist of contributors - it also needs happy users 
to grow.

I have been trying to advocate  NetBeans in my work environment (30% InteliJ, 69% Eclipse), but this is getting increasingly difficult to justify.

I actually had a conversation like that some weeks ago:

someone:  "Hey Karl, I would like to try NetBeans as that apparently works so well 
for you"
me: Sure, download NetBeans from https://netbeans.org/ it has everything you 
need
someone: Does it support Java 10?
me: No, but you can use the Apache NetBeans 9.0 dev build - it's pretty stable
someone (a few minutes later): I can't find the JSP or the JavaScript support. How can I use it for the npm based React parts?
me: you can't, Apache NetBeans 9.0 only supports Java SE
someone: OK, I'll go back to InteliJ then

No offence, but please read the blog:

Whoever you think "Oracle" is, Oracle is me, and many others in Oracle who have contributed to Apache NetBeans from the beginning:

https://github.com/apache/incubator-netbeans/graphs/contributors

Above, I see many people from Oracle. I don't see you. I therefore prefer 
people from Oracle. :-)

Thanks,

    No offense, but what use is a Java IDE in 2018 without support for web 
applications?

    If that is Oracle's secret plan to kill NetBeans by making it unusable for 
professional development, it's working.

    Is there at least a time frame on why Oracle wants to donate that? (If they 
actually pan to do that)

    Not in 9.0, which is focused on Java SE only. All the JavaScript features 
(and Java EE, PHP, Groovy, C/C++) must
    still be donated to Apache by Oracle.

        I have an Angular application that works just fine running “ng serve”

        best way to run this project  in netbeans? I found some things on the 
internet, but they seem out of date or
        not quite what I want.  Can I run this as a Node.js application and 
with the correct project properties, have
        netbeans run “ng serve”?
