Description Geertjan Wielenga 2008-04-07 16:02:23 UTC 
Several APIs in the Java editor hints area are friend APIs. They need to be final. Otherwise we cannot properly promote
Java editor hints -- after all, we WANT the community to create Java editor hints, right? Yarda Tulach suggest thhis
should be a P2.
Comment 1 Jan Lahoda 2008-04-07 16:47:56 UTC 
BTW: another thing we need to promote Java hints development is ability to test the hints. I currently use some ugly
workarounds to allow external modules use parts of tests from the std. distro, but it is far from perfect (e.g. no
parameter names) and strictly one-purpose for java.hints. Jardo, are there any plans on making test dependency on test
from std. distro (or on some test API) possible for non-nb.org modules? Please note that this would be useful for more
than java.hints. (Also, setup of the tests is not trivial - the tests need Bootstrap, Startup and MasterFS to run, and
the set of required module may change at any time, AFAICT.)

I would say that this should be marked as a duplicate of issue #83347? Or am I wrong?
