project conversion questions

Would it make sense to have a mailing list devoted to converting
modules to use the project system? Ideally it would include people who
could answer questions for developers downstream of the Java and Web
modules. I predict that given the fact that we in the S1S group have
switched our build to use projects that there is going to be a flurry
of these questions.

I'm currently having a problem with an action that looks to see if the
selected node is a Java Data Object. The code compiles but I get a
noclassdef at runtime, even though the dependency is in the manifest
and the JavaDataObject class is in the jar file. Backtrace on trying
to raise the tools menu is:

*********** Exception occurred ************ at Wed Jul 23 17:21:23 PDT 2003
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org.netbeans.modules.java.JavaDataObject

        at org.openide.actions.ToolsAction$Inline.run(ToolsAction.java:215)
...

Since I can't raise the tool menu I can't disable the module, at least
through the UI.
