The plugins.netbeans.org site says "plugins provided by community members and third-party companies" so I doubt Oracle has the rights to donate all that code to us. Sorry that we missed that during the proposal preparation phase. If that's correct I would suggest keeping the plugins.netbeans.org migration out of the incubation proposal, and letting Apache NetBeans handle that later. That might just be suggesting to move that code to GitHub and creating an alternate plugin installation mechanism that grabs whatever it needs there. It looks like those plugins are clearly "code associated with an Apache project" once NetBeans migrates to the ASF, but code that probably shouldn't belong to the ASF. Owners of specific plugins will still be able to donate them as well, separately, once Apache NetBeans is established, via our IP clearance mechanism, http://incubator.apache.org/ip-clearance/ -Bertrand --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
