This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
MDR-NetBeans bridge is needed to encapsulate mechanisms for keeping track of what the source of each metadata is (which file) in order to be able to determine, whether the metadata is up-to-date. Mechanism for automated updating of metadata that are not up-to-date is needed. Besides this and after implementing storage federation mechanism, MDR-NetBeans bridge should be also able to provide information about which metadata has to be stored in which physical storage. These features will probably require creating model of metadata sources and a NetBeans module for keeping metadata and original sources in sync.
Changed to P3 (i.e. a "nice to have" for NB4.0)
I am closing all reports in category Java/Unsupported as wontfix. These should be dead issues --- if the reported cases are against some live part of the NetBeans IDE please reopen and we can discuss to which category they belong.
