It seems that this autoload module is not used by anything, so disabled in the build. If so, it should just be removed.
I know about this - this is intentional. It was left there for compatibility reasons. Was first declared as a stable API but then we merged it into j2ee/ddapi in 4.1. I am not sure if it is safe to remove now - probably yes, if any product still uses it they could ditribute it themselves if they wish (preferably they should switch to j2ee/ddapi, of course).
It should at a minimum be marked deprecated in the manifest.
Fixed. Marked module as depercated : http://web.netbeans.org/source/browse/web/ddapi/src/org/netbeans/api/web/dd/Bundle.properties?r1=1.1&r2=1.2 http://web.netbeans.org/source/browse/web/ddapi/manifest.mf?r1=1.9&r2=1.10
