I am fairly certain that at least some of the responses I will receive to the following will be "ask in the right forums", but as you will read, asking in the right forums is like shouting into an empty bucket. Can anyone tell me, and others, what the future - long, short and immediate - for Project Woodstock is in Netbeans? As it stands at the moment, you can see that people are crying out in the forums https://woodstock.dev.java.net/servlets/ForumMessageList?forumID=2879 and in the mailing list https://woodstock.dev.java.net/servlets/BrowseList?listName=users&by=date&from=2008-10-01&to=2008-10-31&first=1&count=57 asking the same thing, with zero response. I have made the possibly fatal mistake of committing a large project to using Netbeans, Visual JSF, and Woodstock, and after considerable work, when I hit a bug, have found that there is zero support available anywhere. That takes me to a meta-gripe, which I'm hoping someone can actually throw some light on. The netbeans wiki (http://wiki.netbeans.org/FaqChat) advises several chat forums. I've been crying into those forums for several weeks, and have never received any answer - if they are not in some wise an 'official' channel, could the wiki be updated to reflect the *real* place to direct questions like this? I really, really want Netbeans to be successful, it is far and away the best IDE for java development I've used, but if this continued complete inability to find any meaningful support continues, I'm going to have to re-evaluate and probably take my dev team back to a commercial product.
