Description Jaroslav Tulach 2003-01-27 16:06:12 UTC 
Describe window system architecture by answering
NetBeans Arch Questions as described at

http://openide.netbeans.org/tutorial/api.html
Comment 1 Jaroslav Tulach 2003-01-27 16:27:48 UTC 
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
Comment 2 mslama 2003-01-30 10:23:04 UTC 
I will do it.
Comment 3 Jaroslav Tulach 2003-02-13 16:02:30 UTC 
1. is it possible to hide package with implementation of window
system? If not, list it as API and give some stability (private/friend
I guess). As far as I know it is used from core/output.

2. compat-version references settings (options) API. List it as import.

3. Please add links to documentation of format of Windows directory
(questions resources-read/resources-mask)

4. exec-reflection: Please mention that you
org.netbeans.core.windows.PersistenceManager references
org.openide.loaders.InstanceDataObject { 
  static java.lang.String escapeAndCut (java.lang.String);
}
and also you should talk to settings writer about exporting this API.
