Re: Extending Natures

there are issues filed for this feature in issuezilla, both marked with 
target milestone 4.0, which means they -are- planned.

"There is no API for adding a natures to the existing project."
http://www.netbeans.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=34310

UI for managing project natures
http://www.netbeans.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=26221

It would be helpful to know what requirements will be implemented in 
4.0. Can someone from project team say that?
