> 6) NetBeans Plugin Development is not activated when looking at the general purpose view.
Looks like the "NetBeans Plugin Development" feature is "NetBeans Plugin Development" plugin + "Timer API" plugin.
Activating "Mobility" (Feature) results only in "NetBeans Plugin Development" (plugin) activation.
So "Timers API" is really not activated and thus "NetBeans Plugin Development" feature is not activated.
Agree that is confusing.
btw, the same for "Java" (or "Java SE" - in the latter builds): activating Mobility says that "Java" (plugin) will be activated. After activation "Java" (feature) is not active. Need to find out a better way to distinguish features/plugins with the same name. (related Issue 162824) "NetBeans Plugin Development" is no longer in the list of features. In recent builds the feature name is the module "category" name. For example "Java SE" is now the new feature name, which is different than "Java" (name of the kit). So the confusion (due to improper association between name of feature and name of kit) shall be lowered. |
