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.
This is the same story as with PopupActions (issue #95765). The o.n.m.editor.CustomizableSideBar and CustomizableSideBarClass2LayerFolder should have never been made publically accessible. They are part of editor's internal implementation that provides support for registering side bar components in MimeLookup. The 'SideBar' folder and MimeLookup is the public contract, which is used by all modules. There is no reason for anybody to call or use CustomizableSideBar and CustomizableSideBarClass2LayerFolder classes directly, hence there is no reason for having them in a public package.
Created attachment 38799 [details] The diff showing the change
I would like to move these two classes away from the public package. None of the modules in standard Netbeans distribution uses them and as I believe no one else uses them either. The attached diff shows the change. If there are no objections I'll write a note to apichanges.xml and commit the change. Thanks for the review.
