Indeed, Oracle is contributing constantly to NetBeans. Easy to prove, look at the GitHub repo, at the list of contributors. Is your name there? Mine is.


Bit odd then that no one is using an Oracle email address. I suppose it's a requirement to use a different Apache email address? The more you know, I guess.


But uh... Sorry, I'll have to pass on signing away my first born child or whatever is within Apache's version legal document. I'm not a lawyer. Didn't understand Oracle's legal waiver when I attempted to submit a one-liner fix to JavaFX and I doubt Apache is any different.


(/joke)


But I digress, does anyone who originally worked on Netbeans still contribute? Does anyone know what changed from Netbeans 8 to Netbeans 9 that kickstarted the borked refractoring avalanche?


I am from Oracle. In the top 10 contributors, half the names are from Oracle.
