Description ivan 2010-04-28 20:18:43 UTC 
These select functions will not only select an IO tab but also 
apply various additional operations to the containing TopComponent. 
This isn't always desirable. There is a need for a more
primitive/flexible select() operation.

Use case: A terminal-based implementation of IOProvider
is used by solstudio to host tabless debugger consoles and process io
windows. When the debugging session is switched we want to 
apply select() w/o necessarily bringing up the TC's.

An API change is currently being discussed as bug#184894.

Was issue #184894 integrated?
Unfortunately there's only an empty "Changeset: http://hg.netbeans.org/main/rev/" :-(
And if it solves this problem, can we close this bug?

I'm told these kinds of bogus changesets got introduced when
we first moved to Kenai.

Yes we can.
