why do you think org.netbeans.modules.extbrowser.chrome should expose
an API? The simplest solution might be in a first step to copy the
whole module, see how far you get and if it works backtrack and see if
it feasible to create code sharing between the two modules.

Sometimes code duplication is the right solution.
