Package	Description
org.netbeans.api.java.loaders
org.netbeans.api.java.source	Permits inspection and modification of the structure of Java sources.
org.netbeans.api.java.source.matching
org.netbeans.api.java.source.support
org.netbeans.spi.java.loaders

Provides Java Model API access. ensure.built.source.roots When the ensure.built.source.roots property is set during ant script execution, the javac task will not actually build the classfiles from scratch, but rather copy classfiles produced by the Java infrastructure into the output folder. The content of the property will be interpreted as list of source roots, for which the artifacts should be copied.

Interface Name	In/Out	Stability	Specified in What Document?
ensure.built.source.roots	Exported	Under Development	When the `ensure.built.source.roots` property is set during ant script execution, the `javac` task will not actually build the classfiles from scratch, but rather copy classfiles produced by the Java infrastructure into the output folder. The content of the property will be interpreted as list of source roots, for which the artifacts should be copied.

Interface Name	In/Out	Stability	Specified in What Document?
org.openide.loaders.CreateFromTemplateAttributesProvider	Exported	Official	Attributes provider is registered in `META-INF/services`. It provides `package`, `javaSourceLevel` and `java15style` attributes for java templates using scripting support.

Group of property interfaces

Interface Name	In/Out	Stability	Specified in What Document?
package	Exported	Official	`package` attribute contains java package as `String` for newly created templates using scripting.
javaSourceLevel	Exported	Official	`javaSourceLevel` attribute contains java source level as `String` (e.g. "1.5") for newly created templates using scripting.
java15style	Exported	Official	`java15style` attribute is defined for newly created templates using scripting only if java source level is 1.5 or later. Useful to conditionally generate code with java 1.5 features (generics, annotations, etc.).
