#90403 - phase 1

Mar 21 '07; API spec. version: 1.10; made by: vstejskal

The phase 1 of the editor settings enhancements, please see issue 90403 for details. Briefly, the changes involve introducing a special folder for each setting type, profiles are always stored in their own folder, modules are allowed to register multiple settings files, platform specific settings, the use of 'text/base' for all-editors settings has been deprecated in favor of the hierarchy root (ie. 'Editors' folder), etc.

The changes are documented in the Architecture Description document and marked with the module version.

Adding EditorSettings.getAllMimeTypes()

Feb 5 '07; API spec. version: 1.9; made by: vstejskal

Adding EditorSettings.getAllMimeTypes() method, which lists all top-level mime types registered in MimeLookup.

Deprecating several methods and attributes in EditorSettings

Dec 30 '06; API spec. version: 1.8; made by: vstejskal

The getDefaultFontColors, getDefaultFontColorDefaults and setDefaultFontColors methods in the EditorSettings classe were deprecated in favor of using EditorSettings.getFontColorSettings(String[]) with an empty mime path, which is the standard way of getting defaults for all document types.

The PROP_DEFAULT_FONT_COLORS and PROP_EDITOR_FONT_COLORS should have never been made public. They are only used internally.

OpenIDE-Module-Provides: org.netbeans.api.editor.settings.implementation

Nov 13 '06; API spec. version: 1.7; made by: vstejskal

The module is now 'eager' and it provides the org.netbeans.api.editor.settings.implementation token required by the editor/settings module. Also the API was properly marked as for-friends-only.
