When trying to use the standalone lookup library, JVM complains that it cannot find org.openide.util.Utilities class. I have noticed (from the CVS archives) that this class is newly used by org.openide.util.lookup.AbstractLookup class. However, this class is not included in the standalone lookup library. I suspect that the openide build script should be updated to include this class when creating openide-lookup.jar.
We would like to replace the openide-lookup.jar by openide-util.jar which would contain not only lookup but most of org.openide.util.**. Is that acceptable solution for you?
AFAIK, openide-util does not contain lookup right now. Moreover, openide-util.jar is 3x bigger than openide-lookup.jar (and I guess it will be about 4x bigger once you include also lookup in it). There is a lot of stuff that MDR (and possibly other clients) will never need. So I would still prefer to be able to build openide-lookup.jar separately. Is this a problem?
I will provide temporary fix, but in the long term it will be necessary to replace the openide-lookup.jar with openide-util.jar, I guess.
