In many ways, the current GitHub structure provides the eagle's view you seek: https://github.com/apache/netbeans Rather than it being a long list of modules, the above categorizes them into their clusters, reflecting what you see in your NetBeans installation directory. Indeed, grepping is a good approach to find the code you need to work with. You can also search directly in the GitHub repo on-line in the web interface. The dependencies of any modules are always listed in the project.xml file of a module. And this IMHO continues to be the best book on the NetBeans Platform: https://leanpub.com/nbp4beginners Gj > > @Jeremy: I hope I got your point. > > > Best regards > > Christoph > > On 06.11.2019 14:24, Geertjan Wielenga wrote: > > What specific things are you looking for? > > > > Gj > > > > On Wed, 6 Nov 2019 at 14:05, Jeremy Cavanagh <jeremy.cavan...@orange.fr> > > wrote: > > > >> Hi All, > >> > >> I was just wondering if there was a design document for NetBeans which > >> shows how all the pieces fit together?
