Description Pavel Buzek 2003-04-14 15:45:35 UTC 
The Java projects nature contains both stuff
useful for any kinf of projects based on Java
(j2se, j2me, j2ee) and some stuff that only
bellongs to j2se. An example is Execution profile
that executed main class -- this makes no sense in
Web Apps or J2EE. Another example is boot classpath.

These two parts need to be separated (e.g. 'java'
nature and 'j2se' nature) and only the first part
will be reused by other modules.
Comment 1 Pavel Buzek 2003-04-14 15:47:08 UTC 
this has impact on contents of java nature that will be reused   so
this is a public contract (api)
Comment 2 Pavel Buzek 2003-04-14 15:50:25 UTC 
oops, I mean P3 ;-)
Comment 3 Tomas Zezula 2003-07-17 12:06:16 UTC 
The issue is partially fixed, the implementation of j2se platform is
separated into the j2se module.
The remaining question is, if the j2se nature should be introduced.
It has some advantages as Pavel has written, but also disadvantages.
E.g. J2ME needs also J2SE services, (the J2ME delegates to J2ME).

As described in
http://www.netbeans.org/servlets/ReadMsg?msgId=619519&listName=nbdiscuss the
current work on projects prototype has been stopped.
