OpenIDE-Module-Module-Dependencies: org.netbeans.modules.java.project/1 > 1.20

(1.3) Added a new factory method for creating the name/package chooser wizard panel into the templates SPI.

Details of all changes by API and date

Classpath Support SPI

Added helper method for creating `ClassPathImplementation` based on an Ant property

Jan 6 '05; API spec. version: 1.3; affected top-level classes: ProjectClassPathSupport; made by: tzezula; issues: #42309

Added new helper class ProjectClassPathSupport with a factory method createPropertyBasedClassPathImplementation(...). This method creates a live classpath based on the list of Ant properties holding the path. The classpath implementation listens on changes of properties, updates state and fires events to clients.

`ProjectClassPathExtender` made public

Jan 5 '05; API spec. version: 1.3; affected top-level classes: ProjectClassPathExtender; made by: tzezula; issues: #52998

ProjectClassPathExtender was a private contract between j2seproject and form which allowed the form editor to extend the compilation classpath of a project by a new classpath element (archive file, folder, dependent project, or library). This interface was moved into a public SPI package to remove the need to have an implementation dependency of form and j2seproject on java/project.

Java Project API

Switched to major release version 1

Dec 22 '04; API spec. version: 1.3; made by: jglick; issues: #51468

To indicate that this is now considered a stable API, the major release version was incremented to 1 from 0.

Compatibility:

Clients should begin requesting the new version to avoid a warning at startup.

UI Support SPI

Added a new factory method for creating the name/package chooser wizard panel into the templates SPI.

Mar 21 '05; API spec. version: 1.3; affected top-level classes: JavaTemplates; made by: pjiricka; issues: #56730

A new factory method for creating the name and package chooser panel in the Java file wizard. This method is similar to the methods that already exist in this class; it has an extra boolean parameter that allows to specify whether the entered package name is required to be valid (non-empty).

Display of packages in a list added

Jan 10 '05; API spec. version: 1.3; affected top-level classes: PackageView; made by: tzezula; issues: #48618

New methods supporting creation of package lists were added to PackageView. createListView(SourceGroup) creates a ComboBoxModel containing the packages from a given source group. listRenderer() returns a ListCellRenderer rendering the packages.
