NetBeans is a development environment, tooling platform and application
framework.
NetBeans has been incubating since 2016-10-01.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Legal process to hand over code. Still pending and frustrating to all concerned.
2. Possibility that NetBeans 1st donation will not be done in time to release together with JDK 9.
3. Slowness/thoroughness of the process of handing over code from Oracle.
Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be
aware of?
The process will take time.
How has the community developed since the last report?
Various discussions about specific plugins, etc, and about the logo and website.
How has the project developed since the last report?
Progress is being made on the Oracle side, the progress is continual, but slow.
How would you assess the podling's maturity?
Please feel free to add your own commentary.

Comments: Latest news is that Oracle is now at the final stage,
reviewing the AL2.0 and CCLA itself, needed for the 1st code donation.
So hopefully we finally can import and validate the 1st donation soon.

CCLA and SGA have been provided in draft form by Oracle and have been
approved by ASF. Currently they're in the process of being approved and
signed by Oracle.
Once that's done, experiments with migrating hg.netbeans.org/releases to
Apache Git can proceed.
