Cau, I am modifying a lot of issues at once, as I think I have something to say in general. In NetBeans API documentation we have few places where we list "layer APIs". The most central one is http://www.netbeans.org/download/dev/javadoc/layers.html This is supposed to help module writers to find information about possible folders where it is possible to make their registrations. I believe that the ability to register actions into menu items of loaders is important and shall be documented. That is why please modify your arch*.xml documents together with the change in your layers. This is example I put into openide/loaders: <api name="Loaders-folder-any-Actions" category="stable" group="layer" type="export" > The actions that the default folder loader shows in its popup menu are read from a layer folder <code>Loaders/folder/any/Actions</code> so if any module wishes to extend, hide or reorder some of them it can just register its actions there. </api> Possible problem is that you have to modify an arch*.xml of a module which provides a javadoc, otherwise it will not be listed in the docs page. If you have such module, please modify its arch*.xml, otherwise modify your own arch*.xml, in future we can process it, even if it does not have javadoc at all. Thanks for helping to improve our developers documentation. - What is the API stability level of the layer extension points? - What if we do not wish to expose the ability to add actions to objects consumed by this dataloader, to other modules? Done in release55 branch. v |
