Describe lookup architecture by answering NetBeans Arch Questions as described at http://openide.netbeans.org/tutorial/api.html
If you go to openide/arch directory, there is a build.xml prepared for you. If you invoke "ant <nameofyourapi>" a arch-openide-yourapi.xml file should be generated and you can start answer the questions there. When you are ready, run the ant script once more -> html page is generated (you have to change questionsverion to the right value). After that check the .xml into CVS. You can delete .html
The documentation shall link to section about META-INF/services in javadoc. That is why I created issue 30425
David, could you update this to recent version - no MetaInfoServiceLookup hack, and also write a bit about FolderLookup and its connection with /Services folder in layers (of course mention that this is just in impl and depends on services API).
Changed owner David S. -> David K.
Guys, I am going to compose the final arch document tomorrow, could you please look at this issue and resolve it now? Thank you.
Answers are fine I guess.
