Summary:	API Versioning - only packages with class file

Description webhsw 2007-11-07 09:48:54 UTC

In the properties dialog of a Netbeans Module the "ApiVersioning/Public Packages" can be make public or not. The issue
is that in the listbox only packages containing a java class are displayed. So it is impossible to make packages without
classes public.
Third party libraries e.g. "jasperreports.jar" need to make public such packages e.g. "net.sf.jasperreports.engine.dtds"
Can you give me a workaround??

Comment 1 Jesse Glick 2007-11-07 10:15:51 UTC

Sure, edit project.xml and add whatever additional packages you need.

Comment 2 webhsw 2007-11-07 13:17:59 UTC

This I already try, but the big problem is, that after a later edit of the "ApiVersioning/Public Packages" my additional
packages are removed.

Comment 3 Jesse Glick 2007-11-08 15:10:51 UTC

I see. Well for now you will need to manually readd them or always use project.xml for such changes.

Comment 4 rmichalsky 2008-11-24 15:02:59 UTC

Not into 7.0 or next release. Feel free to reopen if more important than it seems.

Comment 5 rmichalsky 2008-11-24 15:14:35 UTC

A mistake, sorry.

This bug was reported against NetBeans IDE 6.0 or an older release, or against a non-maintained module. NetBeans team does not have enough resources to get to this issue, therefore we are closing the issue as a WONTFIX. If you are interested in providing a patch for this bug, please see our NetFIX guidelines for how to proceed.
