Description jymen 2007-07-11 09:11:15 UTC 
I got an existing 5.0 / 5.5.1 plugin which has the following API compatibility issue when installing on 6.0 M9 or M10 :
- Compiling and building the plugin project works perfectly on 6.0M9 or 6.0M.10
- When trying to install the generated nbm file the following message is produced by the installer :
Plugin cannot match its dependencies : 
module org.netbeans.modules.editor.hints/1>1.7.1.1

I am not able to find any occurence of this module in the netbeans API and find any explanation about this
incompatibility  si there someting that need to be changed on existing 5.0 plugin projects to be installed on a 6.0 M9
or M10

You need /0 for 6.0 as this is an unofficial API. Please use dev@openide.netbeans.org for help.
