Hi Peter,
the Java core module (java/src) does not define any API and from this
reason it does not export any public packages.
Dependence on the JavaDataObject is not desired, this class is going to
be removed in the NetBeans 4.0.
The ProjectMember, EnvironmentProvier and Look should replace all the
DataObejcts in the NB 4.0.
Is it not enough for your module to test if the (ProjectMember or Node)
has certain object in its lookup?
If you are missing some support in the Java API we will appreciate your
feedback.
Can you describe in more details why do you need JDO?
