JavaSupportAPIs The Java Support APIs provides basic facilities for getting or supplying information about Java-language source files. It is based on the query pattern so implementations can be supplied from other modules or projects.

What is New (see all changes)?

  • Apr 10 '13 The SourceLevelQuery supports JDK 8 profiles

    The JDK Profile was changed to enum type.

  • Mar 5 '13 The SourceLevelQuery supports JDK 8 profiles

    The JDK 8 provides three limited profiles (compact1, compact2, compact3) in addition to the full JDK. Each profile specifies a specific set of Java API packages and contains all of the APIs of the smaller profile. The new API allows a client of the SourceLevelQuery to query the required profile.

  • Jun 7 '12 The SourceLevelQuery supports source level synonyms

    The semantics of the SourceLevelQuery, SourceLevelQueryImplementation and SourceLevelQueryImplementation2 was extended to support source level synonyms. The SourceLevelQueryImplementation and SourceLevelQueryImplementation2 can return source level synonyms, e.g. "5" for "1.5". These synonyms are always normalized by the SourceLevelQuery before they are teturned to an API client.

  • May 23 '12 Introducing JavaClassPathConstants.COMPILE_ONLY

    Added a new COMPILE_ONLY classpath type allowing project types to add classpath resources which should be included in the complile classpath but should not be inherited by runtime classpath.

  • Aug 11 '11 Added SourceJavadocAttacher to allow clients to attach source (javadoc) roots to binary root

    Added an API to allow clients to attach source roots and javadoc roots to binary roots. The API delegates to SPI implementations which provide specific behavior depending on type of binary root (platform, library, maven artifact). There is also fallback implementation handling unknown binary roots by storing the bindings into IDE's userdir.

Use Cases

The API is widely used by all sorts of IDE modules which need to work with Java sources. They can find Javadoc, unit tests, source level, etc. The SPI is intended mainly for Java platform and library providers, and project type providers, to declare all of this information.

Implementation Details

Where are the sources for the module?

The sources for the module are in the NetBeans Mercurial repositories.

What do other modules need to do to declare a dependency on this one, in addition to or instead of a plain module dependency?
Nothing.
