Description Ayub Khan 2008-07-16 15:49:33 UTC

Currently we have libs.jaxb module (with friends to 20 other modules in ide cluster) that wraps following

jaxb-api.jar (JAXB 2.1 API)
jaxb-impl.jar (JAXB 2.1 Impl)
activation.jar (required by JAXB 2.1)
jsr173_api.jar (JSR 173 : Streaming API for XML, required by JAXB 2.1)

We would like to make this module public.

Current friend list:

org.netbeans.modules.aspect.editor</friend>
org.netbeans.modules.compapp.projects.jbi</friend>

[JG01] javax.activation and javax.xml.stream are both independent APIs. If you want to make them public, they should be
in their own modules. (I know for sure there are other copies of StAX, both API and impl, floating around - please
consolidate.)


[JG02] You may only make public from JAXB those classes which are intended to be public according to JSR - i.e.
javax.xml.bind.**. If some of the current friends need to directly call Sun impl classes for whatever reason, then there
should be a separate "JAXB Implementation" ("RI"?) module which exposes necessary packages to friends only.

>>[JG01]
At this moment we do not want de-stabilize the NB6.5 freeze date, so we will try to address it post 6.5

>>[JG02]
I dont see any problem in addressing this.

Dormant.
