The gradle.htmlui module is going to be removed as no maintainer shown
interest in it.

+1 too,
Side node:
https://github.com/apache/netbeans-samples/ exists for sample archive intended to be monolithic to avoid many repo under apache/netbeans but not ready for release process. Intended for redoing the sample we have lost and doable in ASL license.
Best regards
Eric

as side note:
A potentially better way to offer demos, samples and framework templates would be external plugins or repos.
Not sure if anyone remembers but around NB 5-6 there were the community maintained NetBeans
OpenGL Pack (and later similarly named -CL Pack) which bundled many getting started projects (some
were translated from C and could be used in conjunction with tutorials/books etc) and other utilities.
(this was pre-git. Today, sample projects would likely be kept in a git repo)
This leads to better UX since it adds context for the user when it is discovered via guide/wiki or
the web page of the technology and also keeps the maintenance responsibility at the source.
(full disclosure: I maintained the NB GL/CL packs back in the days)
best regards,
michael
