Currently at its version 11.2, Apache NetBeans is a great piece of development software. Is Fedora considering to add it to its packages? Does anyone already plan to maintain it or can I take it over?
We (Eclipse maintainers in Fedora) are looking into using Flatpak instead (https://flathub.org/apps/details/org.eclipse.Java). There seems to be Netbeans flatpak (https://flathub.org/apps/details/org.apache.netbeans).
I admit there are still issues we face both in Eclipse code and in flatpak(portals) like https://github.com/flathub/org.eclipse.Java/issues/3 but overall this has better ROI so consider trying it.
P.S. This is not trying to discourage you from packaging Netbeans as RPM but rather a general warning that unless upstream developers are convinced this is important delivery channel it's really touch to achieve it.
