This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
Idea from Chuk-Munn Lee: "It would be really nice to allow developers to include some unique NetBeans library into RCP applicaition. What I was thinking was in one of the wizard steps you have checkboxes that say features to include. So if someone is planning on doing a 'freemind' or 'org chart' app, then they would select 'Graphs'. Now all the graphs related libs will be included onto the platform. What you want to do with this is to expose and allow the developers to reuse parts of NB in their RCP. Previously only NB engineers know which libs to include. The other challenge is to identify the compelling libs in NB that people would want to use. Obvious choices would be Graphs, Lookups, Database visualization and query and SwingX libs."
I think this is too vague and open-ended to implement. We cannot enumerate all NB libraries that someone or other might want to use in an app, and it would be a problem to maintain such a list. The Add Dependency dialog already shows the description of a module. Samples using particular libraries to good effect might be useful.
