The j2ee/metadata/support module provides a friend API which helps implementing models of Java EE metadata expressed in annotations and XML deployment descriptors. The purpose of this module is to avoid some copy-pasting and to make the task of implementing models easier. The module will be used by the modules which implement the models themselves: j2ee/ddapi in the enterprise cluster and j2ee/persistenceapi in the java cluster. The support module will be in the java cluster. The sources are in the j2ee/metadata/support directory in trunk. The API is still a work in progress, so there is not much Javadoc yet. Two packages are exposed as friend API: - org.netbeans.modules.j2ee.metadata.model.api.support.annotation - the core part, which handles the cooperation with the Java source API, supports scanning for annotated elements and provides support for caching parts of the model and listening on the Java infrastructure. - org.netbeans.modules.j2ee.metadata.model.api.support.annotation.parser - provides some support for parsing annotations, which makes the task of creating model objects from annotation elements easier.
I would like to ask for a fast-track review.
Since the module is already in trunk I will just close the issue after waiting one more day.
Closing.
