Oracle - Future of Netbeans?

[xwinus]

Hello,
Few days before Oracle acquired the Sun Microsystems, and now I fear about the future on Netbeans. I know that Oracle has it's own Java IDE (JDeveloper), so my question is: Do anybody know what will happen with Netbeans and Java? And I also hope that Oracle won't change the license of Java.

Thanks for any info, Xwinus

Removing NB would be just a mistake. I'm more worried  about MySQL's future. That would be a big loss,but from the business point is a natural for Oracle to remove a competitor. Sadly I don't see stuff like Visual Web, UML and SOA survive the change dueto their current state.

Hello,

Theres a quite a few webcasts on this, from the Oracle site:
http://www.oracle.com/events/productstrategy/index.html

The one on Developer Tools includes some info on Netbeans

MySQL is OS right? So it can be forked. Oracle can't kill the FOSS DB movement, there's too many of them out there and too much know how and too much motivation and opportunity for any company that is willing to master the code base. Oracle's best bet is to provide solutions to companies that want things to just get done and don't want to mess with anything not in their business vertical, right?

I strongly encourage everybody to listen the Oracle screencast about
NetBeans at the link provided a few messages ago.

My understanding is that there's _no_ distinction professional /
personal use between JDeveloper or NetBeans. The distinction is that
JDeveloper was and continues to be part of a commercial offer of
products and services by Oracle for their customers, and NetBeans was
and continues to be free and open source with the same license.
JDeveloper was and continues to be specially aimed at working with a
large set of Oracle specific technologies, NetBeans was and continues to
be suitable for working with open stuff. NetBeans won't be restricted to
Java SE, as there's an Oracle statement in the screencast that Oracle
will strive to make NetBeans the best IDE for JSE, JME and JEE (and
JavaFX) - in fact, JDeveloper doesn't have any support for JME or
JavaFX; since Oracle confirmed the committment on GlassFish as RI of
JEE, NetBeans will keep full support for it.

It's also my understanding that in the screencast is clearly said that
Oracle wont' invest in NetBeans support for languages other than Java
and JavaFX, leaving others to the community. A number of sources are
reporting the opposited and I frankly believe that somebody understood
it wrong and others copied it without verifying. Again, I strongly
encourage you to listen to the original screencasts.

So support for scripting languages is the responsibility of NetBeans community, but Java/C/C++/Fortran support is the responsibility of Oracle. And, NetBeans will be IDE for personal use (with permission for developing C/C++/Fortran and projects in other languages as a non-commercial software), but JDeveloper will be for bussiness users. This i had understood listening to Developer Tools webcast.

Right?
