ClassElement.forName is registry for some sources "lookup". It's used on many places. This method will not work correctly in the next version in some cases. There will be a new implementation of this feature in Java Module. This new version will be Project Context dependent. So, we should rewrite our current ussages of this methos to Java Module implementation, and keep Project Context on such places. It can be non-trivial change.
As described in http://www.netbeans.org/servlets/ReadMsg?msgId=619519&listName=nbdiscuss the current work on projects prototype has been stopped.
