Changes by version

These API specification versions may be used to indicate that a module requires a certain API feature in order to function. For example, if you see here a feature you need which is labelled 1.20, your manifest should contain in its main attributes the line:

OpenIDE-Module-Module-Dependencies: org.netbeans.modules.java.api.common > 1.20

(1.11) Add support for endorsed libraries
(1.5) Refactor reusable code from J2SE project type and make it available for other project types (eg. J2EE/Web).

Details of all changes by API and date

Java Common API

Add support for endorsed libraries

Oct 7 '09; API spec. version: 1.11; affected top-level classes: ClassPathSupportFactory ClassPathSupport ClassPathProviderImpl; made by: dkonecny; issues: #172952

Add ability to create bootclasspath with given endorsed libraries.

Refactor reusable code from J2SE project type and make it available for other project types (eg. J2EE/Web).

Oct 28 '08; API spec. version: 1.5; affected top-level classes: ClassPathExtender ClassPathModifier ClassPathModifierSupport ClassPathProviderImpl ClassPathSupportFactory ClassPathSupport ProjectProperties ClassPathUiSupport JavaSourceNodeFactory LibrariesNode LogicalViewProvider2 ProjectUISupport AntArtifactItem ClassPathListCellRenderer CustomizerProvider2 EditMediator SourceRootsUi; made by: dkonecny; issues: #150357

Make code implementing J2SE support in project type reusable. Originally around NetBeans 4.0 most of this code was copy and pasted from java.j2seproject to several other project types and kept in synch ever since. This change eliminates duplicity of the code and refactors as much of J2SE support specific code to java.api.common module as possible.
