I recently commented out nonfunctional code in org.netbeans.modules.projects.PSupport which looked like it was supposed to be finding services via lookup on ManifestSection.ServiceSection. This definitely does not work now and probably did not for a while (since service instances have been registered via XMLSettings etc.). I'm not sure what the code is for exactly (some 3.1 -> 3.2 upgrade thing I guess), but anyway isn't ServiceType.Registry all you need here, if this code is still required?
I don't know how the code looks now but at the time of writing it seemed as an easy way how to transfer information from core to project module when there was no API for finding the services declared in manifest.
reasigning
ManifestSection.ServiceSection is definitely useless there now. Vita did some recent change in PSupport and cleaned the code. It is probably fixed.
Cleaned up.
