I'm developing a debugger for a custom FW. I've followed this tutorial: http://netbeans.dzone.com/how-reuse-netbeans-debugger It works like a charm, but, if clean the project and change DebuggerEngineProvider registration from META-INF/debugger to @DEP.Registration, the behavior changes. ContextProvider.lookupFirst(null, DEP) returns a CMinusEP if using META-INF/debugger and DEP.ContextAware with annotations. Seems like a bug to me. IMHO, both should have the same result. If this is not the case, the documentation must include this difference in behavior.
