NetBeans dev build 201109080600

I am working on a NetBeans platform module. On the pop-up context menu of the packages in the module (in Projects view), there is an action called Compile Package. I have not been able to find a way to enable this action - it stays disabled regardless of whether source files in the package have been changed or not. If it is always disabled, I would suggest removing it from the menu.

It is implemented for j2seproject's (and perhaps others), which is why it is in the context menu. Could probably be implemented for apisupport.ant projects as well, though I would generally recommend just using Build Project instead.

core-main #26ee1e4a92e8 implements this for files in Test Packages as a side effect of making Test File work on a package. Still disabled for packages under Source Packages, which I do not plan to bother fixing; generally you would just want to build the complete module.
