The Eclipse community is
working on a pure-Java Git client, which tells me Sun
should either join with them, dump Mercurial and move
to Git, develop a pure Java client for Mercurial and
embed it in NetBeans, or at least produce a Git
plug-in for NetBeans that uses the pure-Java Git
client from Eclipse.
The plugin is not really a part of Eclipse (yet).
Nowadays the JGit core is BSD-licensed (and will not be part of the Eclipse
project) as opposed to the EPL used for the Eclipse specific parts, which we
hope will make it attractive for other project too.
At this stage noone I know of is working on a Netbeans plugin, but I
see no technical or legal obstacles.
