Hi Milos,

module which gives access to all classes in the module and using the 
implementation dependency is not the correct way to access apis 
between the nb modules.
Well, that's not entirely true. You are encouraged to mark the public 
packages in the manifest, however if you don't, then all packages in 
that module are considered public. You get a warning in the log file 
though :) I'm referencing this module from all my other modules using 
the specification dependency, not  implementation dependency and it 
works fine.
You may be fine with using specification version during compile time as 
you are using a different tool (nbm maven plugin) which may be working 
differently from the IDE build harness , but I was surprised to hear 
that the runtime (ide) is not restricting it without the implementation 
dependency  ? 
Are you sure that maven plugin is not adding this implementation 
dependency automatically in your other modules?
Is the IDE itself prohibiting access to adding a specification 
dependency at design time? (I wouldn't know as I'm using maven and 
maven projects support to build mevenide, not the default ant-based 
project type for developing netbeans modules)


Yes. the IDE is not able to resolve the apis  (you get errors in editor 
as well as at compilation) if I just define a specification dependency 
as these packages are not defines public. When I selected the 
implementation dependency every thing works.
I guess I can still put an entry in the manifest that makes all 
packages public.
What version do to need that to appear? 3.0.11 (which I plan to 
release at 6.1 M2 times) or is subversion trunk with 3.1 version 
(release date not specified yet) ok? I suppose the former, right?


I don't recommend adding every package in the module to be public, but 
your are the one who known better about what in this package is useful 
to other modules, so it is up to you. Yes. It would be nice to have the 
public apis defined in the version that works with IDE 6.0 or 6.1 which 
I guess is the 3.0.11

Please add these packages as module public apis in the module 
manifest file.

As far as I'm concerned it's public api and i'm trying to keep the 
classes in api.* packages backward compatible. Are you having 
problems developing against the module?
