Re: Re: CVS update: MODIFIED: . ...

Hi All,

Svata is absolutely correct. Let me remind you all that:

- the APIs are in high resistant mode - 
http://projects.netbeans.org/openissues/incompatible_issues.html
- this was huge and unwanted API change
- this wasn't discussed on aliases (but even internally with projects 
developers)

We _intentionally_ restricted access to all classes in java module since 
they were never meant to be a public and maintained API of java module. 
We are willing to replace all neccessary contracts by some other way in 
new java project APIs. Please, ask your requirements for these 
contracts. Some of them can be probably satisfied even now, some of them 
probably not, but we don't know how modules were using classes from old 
java module and what all they really need. Help us to find out all these 
usages by asking reguirements.

The commit was rolled back already. If there is an urgent need for 
temporary solution I would suggest to declare implementation dependency 
on java module. Using implementation dependencies allows you to access 
internal classes of module you depend on, but remember that such 
dependencies can easily get broken when changes are done that module. 
It's the responsibility of maintainers of dependent module to keep their 
module in sync or better to remove the implementation dependency as soon 
as possible. Use the implementation dependency only as _temporary_ solution.
