Status of bugs filed in old netbeans.org
Hi,
What will happen to existing bugs filed in the old netbeans.org system now
that we are using apache's Jira?
Will they be migrated automatically or do we need to open them manually in
the new system?
Thanks

JIRA has been set up and running for at least 6 months already:

I’m two sided. I think it’s valuable to move across for the history. I can help if needed as I’ve done JIRA migrations before, JIRA itself supports CSV importing. My advice is create a custom field in JIRA to refer to the original bugzilla #, make this an indexed field, just don’t include this field for editing on workflow transition screens and it’s protected.
But, those tasks that are just orphaned, what to do about them?
How about import them but with a status of closed and a reason of “closed on migration”. Anyone wanting to reopen can then do so easily with a workflow action.
Original reporters will then come across.
Is jira setup and running? Which account do we sign in with? I likely didn’t pay attention to mails about it tbh.

I agree with this approach. I think it is acceptable and Apache NetBeans
will not be the first to use such strategy.
The most important thing is that http://netbeans.org/bugzilla/ will
continue to exist because it contains valuable information from the past.
If this turns out *not* to be the case some day then some type of automated
migration of tickets needs to be considered. But as long as it exists in
read-only mode then the approach to start from clean slate in Jira is very
much acceptable, IMO.
I guess at some point someone will want to turn off the servers that run
the old Bugzilla. Let's hope that doesn't happen for the foreseeable
future. :-)

Hope you realize that the NetBeans team is now the Apache NetBeans team,
which means -- you, too. :-)

At some point, Oracle NetBeans Bugzilla will be read-only and backed up
somewhere. Apache and JIRA is the way forward.

I suppose older versions of the IDE will continue to connect to the
bugzilla, even if Apache Netbeans changes over?

Good question and that's an ongoing discussion.
The general feeling right now appears to be that those issues you care
about -- and are applicable to Apache NetBeans -- you'd move over to
https://issues.apache.org/jira/projects/NETBEANS/issues.
I.e., we're not going to move each and every issue over to Apache, just
those that individuals care enough about to want to move over there.
