So it's about the NetBeans extensibility interface features.
It (registered providers) could decide according to project resource
lookup content. Just guess, I do not know the NetBeans extensibility
interface, I hear the term for the first time. Do you mean 
the classification framework Petr Jiricka described together
with its aspects API proposed by Yarda? Anyway I do not see
difference between extending a Jar library resource and an external
library resource.
