Re: Any plans on maintaining Apache NetBeans

The flatpak packages seem huge in size (at least that's what is shown in the Gnome Software application). Also, for one, Flatpak version of Eclipse does not support built-in support.

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.
