When running an application based upon the NetBeans platform, there are often logs indicating that two layer.xml entries have identical "position" attribute values. I am not sure which mechanism is currently used. I have observed that during normal development, not all warnings are displayed for all modules: warnings appear only for modules recently modified or actually used? While those warnings are nice to have, this validation should be possible without running the application. A right-click to the <this layer in context> folder seems to be right place for a contextual menu leading to that validation.
