Created attachment 43489 [details] related changes in j2ee/earproject
Attached is implementation of connector api including basic tests and related change in j2ee/earproject (diffs are based on NB 5.5.1). Feel free to reuse it.
Lukasi, thank you for your work. But I would like to see use cases before committing this. What user action is this intended to support? Who is the client of the Connector API? Who will implement ConnectorImplementation?
The client of this API is/will be Connector module project type (I have already implemented some basic stuff here) and it is currently the only implementor of this API. The main use case for this API (from IDE users' point of view) is to support those who wants to develop Java EE Connectors/resource adapters as part of enterprise application. Standalone connectors could be developed without proposed changes. My goal and personal preference is to make connector project type support available on some kind of UC (probably beta) for 6.0 without need of also providing updated existing modules (j2ee/ejbapi, j2ee/earproject).
This old bug may not be relevant anymore. If you can still reproduce it in 8.2 development builds please reopen this issue. Thanks for your cooperation, NetBeans IDE 8.2 Release Boss
