While it's hard to get reliable figures, I think you'd struggle to justify
that claim.  For instance, all the indications I've seen point to Xapian being
used more with Python than Perl by a substantial margin.  It seems likely
Ruby is ahead of Perl in this regard too.

Yes, patches are certainly welcome.

I don't know anything about NetBeans, but you might have more success with
the "java-swig" bindings.  The hope is that these will eventually replace
the hand-coded JNI bindings, though development has largely stalled:
