They are competitors, they have proprietary stuff as well, but they are 
not necessary evil.

Hi Laszlo,

We'd be happy to hand over the development of the plugin to your team 
and to transfer the code to Apache NetBeans. We'll still need to figure 
out the technical issues, because the plugin depends on code that wasn't 
very cleanly extracted from Kotlin and IntelliJ (see this comment 
<https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin-netbeans/issues/122#issuecomment-428468811>). 
(All the code in question is also Apache licensed, but we'll need to set 
up a sane build procedure so that you could depend on published 
artifacts and not commit jars to the repository).

I'll be happy to be the technical point of contact for the transition 
process for the beginning.

    Dear Dmitry,

    I'm a member of Apache NetBeans PMC and the release manager of the last
    two Apache NetBeans releases. It seems there are some interest on
    Kotlin
    support inside NetBeans and we came across that there is actually an
    unmaintained plugin from JetBrains for that.

    I've read through the
    https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin-netbeans/issues/122 issue and
    realized, that wit all that talk, we have never asked for donating that
    code to Apache NetBeans.

    So here I'm asking you, that is it possible that we take over that code
    and maintain it in our repositories, we would maintain and probably
    release that along with the IDE?

    As the current code is already in Apache 2.0 license, an e-mail from a
    responsible person would be enough to do the donation.

    Thank you in advance!

This is great news!! Many thanks!!

As facts show, they aren't evil. On the contrary.

I wouldn't say they're competitors, either. They're very good at Swing, 
their UI is super fast!

Cheers,
Antonio
