This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
Could you make the org.netbeans.modules.beans package public? We are reusing the PatterGroupNode (PatternChildren, PatternFilter). We reuse the new types provided by that node on some java nodes at higher (class) level.
It is not a defect that "org.netbeans.modules.beans" is not public. It will probably never be. You cannot request some package to be public. You can request suitable API.
OK, so I am requesting some API which would provide access to the bean pattern new types. We are reusing those types and adding them also to the class node level to some java objects.
Resolving all issues with milestone "future" as LATER. If you feel strongly that it should be implemented please reopen and set the target milestone to "next".
