Re: Java Project API/SPI

If you look at the natures owerview 
http://www.netbeans.org/download/prj40_prototype/javadoc/ProjectsCoreAPIs/org/netbeans/api/projects/doc-files/natures.html#Natures 
you can find following definitions:

* natures provide a mechanism for registering extensions to a project in 
a declarative form
* a project nature is a XML file
* it has a unique name and a version
* ...

I do not think the JavaProject accomplishes them. Sorry, that I am not 
constructive but I am not able to bring up any better name.
