Description pzajac 2006-03-01 13:33:57 UTC 
A user was asking on nbusers what for are Provided and required Tokens
(Versioning and Libraries panels). So it will be nice to add a example of real
usage to help. 

"For example you want to use I/O APIs (org.openide.io). The I/O APIs doesn't
contain implementation. The org.netbeans.core.output implements the I/O API and
provides required token org.openide.windows.IOProvider.  If you want to use the
I/O APIs it is better to add the org.openide.windows.IOProvider to required tokens."
Comment 1 Jesse Glick 2006-03-01 18:21:02 UTC 
Makes most sense in conjunction with a tutorial on using (providing as well as
querying) default lookup.
Comment 2 Geertjan Wielenga 2007-08-13 17:59:33 UTC 
Will add tutorial on this topic and will mention something along the lines suggested by Martin in the helpset.
Comment 3 Geertjan Wielenga 2008-03-18 15:53:47 UTC 
Default Lookup and related topics is already described in the Developer FAQ and elsewhere. Agree that this is not a
suitable topic for the helpset. Marking as WONTFIX.
