What is New (see all changes)?

May 2 '13 Added API to allow J2SE Project extension to get and set active project platform
Added a new friend API to allow J2SE Project extension to obtain and set active project platform.
Mar 21 '13
J2SECategoryExtensionProvider so far restricted the possibility to extend panels in Project Properties dialog to Run and Package panels only. Now it is possible to extend also Application panel.
Feb 25 '13
The J2SEProject calls all the instances of the GeneratedFilesInterceptor registered in the project Lookup when a a build script file has been updated or created.
Aug 17 '11 Enable correct handling of properties in Project Property dialog of an extension of JSE Project
Added interface J2SECustomPropertySaver with method save() to enable correct saving of properties added by JSE Project extending modules. If a JSE Project extending module adds/modifies panels in Project Property panels, then a mechanism is needed to ensure that all user-modified properties are correctly stored in project.properties and private.properties when OK pressed.
Aug 17 '11 Enable extending existing JSE Project category panels in Project Properties dialog
Replace the existing J2SERunConfigProvider interface by J2SECategoryExtensionProvider. The old interface was hardwired to enable extension of Run panel only with one extension panel only. The new interface provides this mechanism for any category and allows multiple extension panels per category. The new functionality is needed for JavaFX 2.0 support module, but is not limited to it.

j2seproject.transparentUpdate	Exported	Private	If the property is set to `true` the project updates metadata of `project.xml` from the namespace `http://www.netbeans.org/ns/j2se-project/1` to `http://www.netbeans.org/ns/j2se-project/2` without explicit user confirmation.

J2SEProjectCustomizer	Exported	Official	"Projects/org-netbeans-modules-java-j2seproject/Customizer" folder's content is used to construct the project's customizer. It's content is expected to be `ProjectCustomizer.CompositeCategoryProvider` instances. The lookup passed to the panels contains an instance of `Project` and `org.netbeans.modules.java.j2seproject.ui.customizer.J2SEProjectProperties` Please note that the latter is not part of any public APIs and you need implementation dependency to make use of it.
J2SELogicalViewProvider	Exported	Official	"Projects/org-netbeans-modules-java-j2seproject/Nodes" folder's content is used to construct the project's child nodes. It's content is expected to be `NodeFactory` instances.
J2SELookup	Exported	Official	"Projects/org-netbeans-modules-java-j2seproject/Lookup" folder's content is used to construct the project's additional lookup. It's content is expected to be `LookupProvider` instances. J2SE project provides `LookupMerger`s for `Sources`, `PrivilegedTemplates` and `RecommendedTemplates`. Implementations added by 3rd parties will be merged into a single instance in the project's lookup.
