Using a fresh install of NB6.7M2, I open the IDE and go the Plugins window. 'NetBeans Plugin Development' is marked deactivated with red X. A exit Plugins window and go to File > New Project. I select NetBeans Modules > Module and click next button. I though at this point the ergonomics feature would state the feature needs to be activated? It does not and I can continue to create and use module projects with no problems. After generating and using the module I go back to Plugins window and 'NetBeans Plugin Development' is still deactivated. Maybe this is intended, but it doesn't seem right.

I need more info. Run with -J-Dorg.netbeans.modules.ide.ergonomics.level=100 and attach $userdir/var/log/messages.log Thanks.
I deleted my ~userdir/.netbeans/6.7m2 directory so I could start fresh. I added -J- Dorg.netbeans.modules.ide.ergonomics.level=100 to startup. When NB opened, I closed the start page. In the attached log file, this series of actions ended at line 647. Then I went to File > New Project. I select NetBeans Modules > Module and clicked next button. I thought at this point the ergonomics feature would state the feature needs to be activated. However I clicked through creating a Module project named 'MySampleModule'. After the project opens and everything finishes scanning, I go to the Plugins window and 'NetBeans Plugin Development' is still deactivated and marked with red X.

After opening one project from a dvbcentral.sf.net suite the whole API support is really enabled: FINE [org.netbeans.modules.ide.ergonomics.fod]: apisupport enabled I guess this issue is fixed.
