This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
With ergonomics implemented in 6.7 the apisupport modules (NetBeans Plugin Development) are activated together with Java SE category modules. Thus creating any JavaSE project triggers enabling also apisupport modules even though they are not needed until a NetBeans Module or Suite project is opened. This issue lists what needs to be fixed to separate APIsupport activation. 1) fix ergonomics to detect "nbm" maven packaging type of maven projects in Open Project dialog and activate also the apisupport cluster modules if such project is opening 2) remove dependency of Java SE kit on APIsupport kit 3) make APIsupport kit a separate visible item in Plugins manager in the high-level view (a question is if we also want to make it a visible item in installer or if it is OK to have it visible only in Plugins manager?) 4) add Maven NetBeans Module and Maven NetBeans Platform Application maven project archetypes to Maven category in New Project wizard, so that it is visible there even before Maven modules are enabled
Please start with #4 and then let me know.
What is #2 about? There is no such dep that I can see. Ditto #3, it is already there.
I guess #4 is already fixed in 6.9. The rest is matter of changes in ide.ergonomics and supporting this change politically.
Right, just #1.
