Rewrite XML to new projects' platform registry.
Productivity Tools module mount XML APIs (JAXP, DOM, SAX) to classpath. JDK 1.4 already contains XML APIs so this extra library make sense just on JDK 1.3 or lower. So, we would like to mount the library just with Java project JDK < 1.4. http://www.netbeans.org/download/prj40_prototype/javadoc/JavaSupportAPIs/index.html
We could create XML-APIs library (provided by Java module) that contains API for compile time, API+impl for run/debug time, API Javadoc and sources for debug time. [It depends on issue #23798.] Then it depends on a user if she want to add the library to Resources and project's classpath.
As described in http://www.netbeans.org/servlets/ReadMsg?msgId=619519&listName=nbdiscuss the current work on projects prototype has been stopped.
Well, work on Projects for NB3.6 has been stopped but for upcomming NB4.0 it's been renovated, right? thus, even though it's too late for promo-d (4.0), I'm reopening cause work on Projects still continue and in promo-e PRojects should be mcuh enhanced. Any objections?
Probably obsolete; I expect most people to be using JDK 1.4+ at this point, and those who are not can make their own library.
