The initial goals of the NetBeans contribution under the Apache umbrella are to establish a new home for an already fully functioning project and to open up the governance model so as to simplify and streamline contributions from the community.
Tables below – the colors show status: green=complete, yellow=in progress, red=rejected/will not be done
Required Resources
Based on the NetBeans Proposal above, the following are the required resources for Apache NetBeans:
ID | Resource | Details | Assigned To | Status | Notes |
---|
R01 | Mailing Lists | dev, user, commits, and private @netbeans.apache.org |
Bertrand | Done.Apache mentors | Done. More can be created as needed, though let's start with the Apache defaults. Also, we need to investigate migrating the archives of the existing NetBeans mailing lists, e.g., nbusers@netbeans.org. | See T04 and T12. |
R02 | Wiki | Confluence is being used as the Wiki. |
Bertrand | Done. | | | |
|
|
R04 | Source Control | Git |

R06 | Release Infrastructure | Hudson/Jenkins, etc. |
| Done: |
| | Special Infrastructure Requests
Based on the NetBeans Proposal above, the following are the Special Infrastructure Requests for Apache NetBeans:
DetailsAssigned To | Status | Notes | SIR01 | Migration of large existing Mercurial repository to Apache Git |

SIR02 | Migration of internal Oracle release infrastructure to Apache infrastructure |
| | | | SIR03 | Migration of Plugin Portal (plugins.netbeans.org) and related plugins |

SIR04 | Migration of website and related content management system to Apache infrastructure |
| | | SIR05 | Evaluation and identification of other NetBeans infrastructure to be migrated to Apache infastructures |
| | | | Further Resources
Not explicitly mentioned in the NetBeans Proposal, though these referenced in SIR05 above, these resources and areas need to be considered too in the context of the transition:. In many cases, there will be no impact, though at least "NetBeans" should be "Apache NetBeans", at least in first mention, where applicable. in the naming of the below.
