So long and thanks for all the fish

TWIMC,

For several years I've been wondering how I want to address the issue of 
my online presence at end of life. Over the last year I've decided that 
my choice is to remove that presence. I've been thinking I'd begin the 
lengthy process at the beginning of next year but now seems an 
auspicious time.NetBeans and jVi are my two largest attachments. I had 
withdrawn when NetBeans moved to Apache; but a jVi user opened a feature 
request to "join apache netbeans" at the end of 2019 and I got sucked 
right back in ;-)

*JavaFX Maven Archetypes:*

The only direct NetBeans hook is 
https://github.com/errael/javafx-maven-archetypes-netbeans. This project 
builds the archetypes which are referenced from 
NewProject>JavaWithMaven>...JavaFXMavenArchetype... The archetypes are 
referenced from 
.../javafx/javafx2.kit/src/org/netbeans/modules/javafx2/kit/JavaFXWizardIterator.java. 
Of course, that reference to maven central will continue to work "forever"

However at some point in time someone might want to make a change to 
these archetypes. Someone might want to create a copy of the github 
repository that builds them. Additionally, for most of the 
updates/changes in that repository I open PRs to 
https://github.com/openjfx/javafx-maven-archetypes. There has been some 
discussion and changes made to the PRs through the process, but they 
were never merged despite some hopeful signs.

I'll send another message about jVi.
