Bug 159824

NetBeans provides plenty of interesting modules (to reuse). But some interesting modules are only part of bigger ones.
Ex: AFAIK the 'directory-chooser' module is part of 'ide' (virtual) module, and I can't get 'directory-chooser' module
without getting bigger 'ide' module too (at least from the plugin center).

I just want to be able to get 'directory-chooser' module (through update plugin center) without getting 'ide' module too.
(a) Is it currently possible ? 
Or, (b) just as I think, the 'directory-chooser' module has to be put/coded outside 'ide' module first ?

If 'directory-chooser' module has first to be put outside 'ide' module to be used as a "standalone", is it possible to
do so ?
Thanks.

My demand corresponds to "module vision", I have, to do more easily some module reuses in order to build a toolbox
platform on top of NetBeans. See my post: http://www.jroller.com/dmdevito/entry/the_netbeans_missing_distributions

PS : IMHO, it would be interesting (for reuse purposes - see my post) to put all file-related modules outside the 'ide'
module, but inside a (new) 'file' module. And just to keep into 'ide' module the editing-related modules.
Thanks.
