Hopefully NetBeans will be released as Apache NetBeans together with 
Java 9, during the coming year.

Right now, the repositories to be donated to Apache are being examined 
for any problematic parts, e.g., we need to make sure that we donate 
only those things that are ours to donate, e.g., not Oracle logos, for 
example, and need to make sure there are no source files that are for 
whatever reason not appropriate to be donated. Hopefully during the 
first months of the year the code will be donated to the official ASF repos.
