From a UX perspective though, I would prefer integration through the hint interface, as this nicely aligns with general cleanup and platform updates. Honestly, tools menu isn't much better IMO - its also not a place where I look for refactoring tasks. The implementation right now is separate from everything and not intrusive, I would be ok with integrating it as experimental feature, it seems like there is interest to properly integrate it at some point in future. (But my initial reaction was similar to yours) The module has no public API (I removed that export), so we could remove it in future again if there is no interest to improve it. It could be extracted to a plugin for example in that case. This could be even delivered as maven hint, since it could directly annotate the dependency in the pom, replace it, then run the transformation. We could of course also move this to NB 20, but the feature does work - maybe someone will find it useful in its early stage. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
