I believe there is 0% chance that the JVM will be charged for. I don't think there has ever been an example of an open source thing becoming closed source. The JVM is a generic language spec that many people have implemented. I dont see any changes to "JDBC". First it is not a product but a spec. Each database vendor implements their own JDBC drivers. In short I don't think there is anything to worry about.
I cant say much about netbeans. I have never used it but many people say it is better than eclipse, though I haven't tried. I would doubt they would discontinue it but given the market leading position of eclipse, its hard to believe it would, big picture, make that much difference.
