Description Vitezslav Stejskal 2002-10-09 19:59:45 UTC 
Regarding discussion with core/openide maintainers
which conclusion is summartized in
http://java.netbeans.org/doc/projects/issues-compilation-execution.html
the projects team is expected to take over the
Compiler API. The API shouldn't be mixed with the
projects core API in one module, but there should
be special API module for it. This module will
depend on Projects API and define API and SPI for
compilation. All the API in projects module
related to the build system should be moved to
this module as well (packages
o.n.api.projects.build.* and
o.n.spi.projects.build.*).
Comment 1 Vitezslav Stejskal 2002-10-09 20:04:01 UTC 
I am not sure if this is still valid in the light of this task, but
I'd like to put it here too.

Support classes in o.n.spi.build package should be final
(DependencyContextSupprt, BuildTargetTransferable,
BuildTargetSupport). Also interfaces TimestampDiff,
BuildTargetDependency should be changed to be abstract classes IMO.

This task has been completed.
