Allow library registration using AnnotationProcessor by annotation on package pointing to the definition file. The AP also should warn if the library contains file based URL.
Good idea. But why not generate the definition file from the annotation? @Library.Registration(type="j2se", name="swing-layout", displayName="#swing-layout", volumes={ @Library.Volume(type="classpath", resources="jar:nbinst://org.jdesktop.layout/modules/ext/swing-layout-1.0.4.jar!/"), .... }) package p;
Even better. OK, thanks Jesse I will do it in this way.
This old bug may not be relevant anymore. If you can still reproduce it in 8.2 development builds please reopen this issue. Thanks for your cooperation, NetBeans IDE 8.2 Release Boss
