I am just a user ... and nothing more!
(I hope I am free to help!)

But to try to respond to the questions :

About netbeans as it seems that I can have it from a sudo apt-get
install netbeans (on the gnewsense server only I am), I think you can
use it.

For open-jdk ... I go to the web site
http://openjdk.java.net/legal/gplv2+ce.html

As I don't now (at this time) if that sort of licence are in use under
gNS, I can't respond anymore for my level of knowledge.

For Tomboy ... it's already install! (it's possible I install it later
than the installation time during another installation package)

I hope that can help you for starting & I think the
http://www.gnewsense.org is another way to find your response or the
#gnewsense chanel on freenode.

Have a happy hacking day!
