Bug 148522

adding 61fixes4-candidate to status.

How can I explain, enhancements are enhancements. They are normally developed/fixed in new releases and not in patches.
Secondly, why would you need to create a new module for a patch? Seems like a whole new set of functionality are being
added as a patch.

malkit, are you trying to expose some of these internal APIs through your module? If so, let me add a word of caution
that friends are friends. There is no formal contract between them and the APIs can change anytime.

Please read this: http://openide.netbeans.org/tutorial/api-design.html#life and read the friend relationship.

As regards to my talk with Samaresh just now, here is the complete list of modules that I would need to be added as
friend to this new module.

xml.xam.ui
xml.validation
xml.refactoring
xml.catalogsupport
xml.axi
xml.wsdl.refactoring

Added: http://hg.netbeans.org/main?cmd=changeset;node=864c2e0a27b2.

Could QE verified the issue in the trunk ASAP? Sustaining needs to port the changeset into the release61_fixes by Friday
03-Oct-08 and the issue have to be verified in trunk before the port. Thanks!!

While we are waiting for QE to verify this, if my verification helps, I can verify (looking at the changeset) that for
6.5 all the requested modules have allowed friend access to this module. 

Verified on Windows Vista with Netbeans 6.5 trunk hudson continuous build #3954 from
http://deadlock.netbeans.org/hudson/job/trunk/.

(As of 10:13 pm Central US time, the nightly builds at http://bits.netbeans.org/dev/nightly/ hadn't appeared.)

The following modules now include org.netbeans.modules.xml.wsdlui.api in the OpenIDE-Module-Friends in their
META-INFO/MANIFEST.MF files (all directories relative to <netbeans_main>:

xml.xam.ui (xml2/modules/org-netbeans-modules-xml-xam-ui.jar)
xml.validation (xml2/modules/org-netbeans-modules-xml-validation.jar)
xml.refactoring (xml2/modules/org-netbeans-modules-xml-refactoring.jar)
xml.catalogsupport (xml2/modules/org-netbeans-modules-xml-catalogsupport.jar)
xml.axi (ide10/modules/org-netbeans-modules-xml-axi.jar)
xml.wsdl.refactoring (xml2/modules/org-netbeans-modules-xml-wsdl-refactoring.jar)

I will proceed with porting to release61_fixes branch based on the above comment. Once the issue is verified in a
nightly build at bits.netbeans.org change, please the issue status to verified.

The fix has been ported into the release61_fixes branch:

http://hg.netbeans.org/release61_fixes/rev/457a7e3b3b42

Integrated into 'main-golden', will be available in build *200810031107* on http://bits.netbeans.org/dev/nightly/ (upload may still be in progress)
