Description Svata Dedic 2014-05-28 06:36:30 UTC
The task is just to track email discussion. The java.source.base now does not depend at all on openide.text. That openide.text API is treated as an unfortunate necessity anyway :)
Refactoring API still exposes PositionBounds in its API - it might be for a design reason, but ties Refactoring API to openide.text, whose charter is to bound editors and its environment; this is probably not the appropriate dependency.

I am filing the issue not to forget that additional code relies on Refactoring API and now contains hacky interim solution until this issue is resolved:

java.hints.ui/src/org/netbeans/modules/java/hints/spiimpl/refactoring/AbstractApplyHintsRefactoringPlugin.java

Please reassign to me when the API is solved; thanks.
