[ BUILD # : 201109260601 ] [ JDK VERSION : 1.6.26 ] In a Maven-based NetBeans Module project, navigating to Important Files > XML Layer > <this layer in context> only shows those layer elements that also appear under <this layer> (i.e. the elements my module adds to the layer). The same behaviour occurs when I expand the <this layer in context> node from the layer.xml node in my module.
It works for a module which is part of an application. (Technically: when there is exactly one open project of nbm-application packaging with a dependency on this module.) The application then supplies the context. Currently unimplemented for standalone modules or modules in "suites", since this run mode (i.e. nbm:run-ide) is semi-deprecated and intended only for prototyping. This would need a different implementation, one which includes all module JARs in ${netbeans.installation}.

(In reply to comment #1) > Currently unimplemented for standalone modules or modules in "suites" Should we create a separate enhancement request? This is a common use case for me.
