I think Oracle is disappointed how their ownership of Java is not as powerful as hoped though costing them a lot. The tooling and enterprise workflow probably eats a lot of manpower. Netbeans was always great for the more advanced Java platform features since it was "officially" supported and often the demo implementation for them. I hope Oracle will continue invest in it because it is a polished platform. The profiling and sampling tools shared with visualvm are awesome. Or maybe Oracle is just loosening the governance grip on the platform allowing some control for other organisations invested in the platform. Time will tell.
