This dependency should be declared so that the Resolve button can handle it automatically. I presume that this should be easy to fix. I had the "Visual Library API" module disabled because it seemed that nothing in my platform project required it (there was no red warning on the Libraries screen of the Project Properties dialog). Without having the "Visual Library API" module enabled, the Options page is able to show the list of available Browsers and launch the configured one when a link is clicked. However, when you click the "Edit..." button in the Options page it causes an exception that starts with: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Property editor org.openide.explorer.propertysheet.PropUtils$NoPropertyEditorEditor@552efed9 for property org.openide.explorer.propertysheet.ModelProperty$DPMWrapper@0 does not support a custom editor. (full Exception attached separately) It was not at all obvious from the exception that "Visual Library API" needed to be included; I simply figured it out through some trial and error. There may be other undeclared dependencies that were overlooked like this one; I didn't test for others. For the time being, I have posted about this issue on a related Wiki page: http://wiki.netbeans.org/TaT_FixExternalWebBrowserInRCPApp

I'm using today's development build now (NetBeans IDE Build 200907230201) and just found another undeclared dependency: on the "Core - Execution" module, also in the platform cluster.
I must say I don't understand this request. The extbrowser module does not use the Visual Library API, so why should it declare a dependency on it? It sounds to me like the fix should be on the side of the Options dialog. See also issue 170928.
I had this same error, and found I needed to include the "Master Filesystem" module from the platform node to fix it. So the ExtBrowser does seem to have some undeclared dependencies. I'm not sure if that is on the Visual Library API though. Hence I have changed the Summary description. I'm using 6.9.1
Can someone please confirm whether this is still a problem in 7.4 trunk builds after the fix of bug 228250? If so, what additional dependency is needed? Thanks.
No response for some time, so marking as INCOMPLETE. Feel free to reopen but please tell us what dependency is missing. Thanks.
