Describe nodes architecture by answering NetBeans Arch Questions as described at http://openide.netbeans.org/tutorial/api.html
If you go to openide/arch directory, there is a build.xml prepared for you. If you invoke "ant <nameofyourapi>" a arch-openide-yourapi.xml file should be generated and you can start answer the questions there. When you are ready, run the ant script once more -> html page is generated (you have to change questionsverion to the right value). After that check the .xml into CVS. You can delete .html
Few comments, that you could evaluate and possibly integrate: 1. please use <api> tag to define API that you export (nodes package) and stability level 2. please use <property> tag and define stability level (for example in exec-component question 3. would it be possible to link to javadoc of classes that you name in the document? 4. drag and drop. Please describe Node.clipboardCut & clipboardCopy and Node.pasteTypes as a way how to get bridge to clipboard. Nodes have special flavors - described in NodeTransferable - please update format-* questions as nearly every other module depends on clipboard & dnd of nodes - try to add stability, please Thanks in advance.
Guys, I am going to compose the final arch document tomorrow, could you please look at this issue and resolve it now? Thank you.
