If you haven't seen it, perhaps also check out the conversation in this PR that led me to starting this thread - https://github.com/apache/netbeans/pull/1270 I have some concerns that that proposal, while in the right direction, is still doing too much in the build environment / outside of the source tree. Be interested in your perspective. > Generally we are > too strict with our APIs outside the platform. Nobody is really building > products on top of the other clusters ... Speak for yourself! ;-) Actually, if you consider plugins (like Android support), derivative IDEs (like mine) and custom distributions (like yours) these things affect lots of other projects outside of those just using the platform cluster.
