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.
Currently the API documentation only covers the parts of design which are finished, for the rest of the features it is hard to find a proposal, design spec. or just a decision written in emails. For a better orientation of module developers make the documentation complete in the sence that it would cover all features and areas planned for 4.0. Some of them can be unfinished but need at least to be mentioned.
few notes for myself (what should be added): 1. overview (what can be customized by modules): http://projects.netbeans.org/servlets/ReadMsg?msgId=327201&listName=dev 2. what will be changed/incomatible: http://projects.netbeans.org/servlets/ReadMsg?msgId=324640&listName=dev 3. wizards and temlpates 4. how to implement resources and outputs (api, hints, examples) 5. how to implement nested projects (hints, examples) 6. configurations 7. private settings 8. term: project nature http://projects.netbeans.org/servlets/ReadMsg?msgId=328807&listName=dev
>3. wizards and temlpates see also: <http://projects.netbeans.org/proposals/wizards/index.html> <http://projects.netbeans.org/proposals/templates/index.html>
started, draft document can be found in CVS in projects module, \api\doc\dev_guide.html in prj40_prototype branch.

*** Issue 20213 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue. ***
needs to be completed for M3
Must-have features for milestone3, have impact on APIs (at least potential).
the docs are completed. they must of course be updated whenever we make changes/additions to APIs.
