A fair point for Rails-on-Netbeans. Not quite so much for Hudson, where Oracle wants not just to stay involved, but to stay in control --- and the amount of control they want is what's pissing off everyone else (including the primary author of the software, Kohsuke Kawaguchi).
So it's actually better for the Ruby/Rails plugin to be dropped by Oracle. Then the community doesn't have to fork to save it from Oracle's controlling hands.
