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.
There is a set of architecture changes that NetBeans are asked to implement and there is also a proposal describing the ideal solution: http://openide.netbeans.org/proposals/arch/installation.html In order to proceed with implementation we need to find out order of steps how we will implement it and a subset that would be enough for first version. These steps are sumarized in a page: http://openide.netbeans.org/proposals/arch/status.html where a possible impact of these changes is analyzed. I am asking for a review of the installation proposal (even it has been review many times in past), but more importantly a review of steps plan. Whether minimal, maximal, optimal solutions are really minimal, maximal and optimal, whether the selected solution really satisfies the requirements and whether the influence on others is correct.
All subtasks are fixed.
