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.
A project object containing a reference to any project (not just the project which the project object will be stored) must allow storage in settings.
ProjectObject can be stored using settings framework in OpenAPI, e.g. it's possible to store PO in settings context of another PO, in JNDI Context or directly in folder using InstanceDataObject.create method. Since settings framework API doesn't yet provide access to FileObject where instance is being stored, the link to PO.getProject() is stored in its absolute form. I'll check the status of core/settings module and update convertor's implementation soon. If additional requirements would appear just let me know.
