Description Jiri Rechtacek 2007-07-23 12:46:14 UTC

Without any work anywhere else the developer can just go ahead and put this new attribute in <module>/manifest.mf but it
would be better if we do it this way:
* extend the module build infrastructure (ie harness) so that it looks for a property
"show.in.autoupdate.client=true/false" in nbproject/project.properties and generates the corresponding
AutoUpdate-Show-In-Client: true or false in MANIFEST.MF
* If show.in.autoupdate.client is missing then generates true (show) for regular modules and false (hide) for autoload
and eager modules
* Of course if the developer already specifies AutoUpdate-Show-In-Client in <module>/manifest.mf then it takes
precedence validate-catalog ant task should be adapted accordingly to recognize this new manifest attribute

There is no purpose for putting such an attribute in project.properties; it should be written directly in manifest.mf. I
can still set a default value, in <jarwithmoduleattributes>.
