Description misterm 2006-01-03 20:53:59 UTC 
[ BUILD # : 20051218 ]
[ JDK VERSION : 1.4.2_xx ]

If one wants to allow all packages contained in a jar (or several jars) to be public, there is currently no option but to select every package one by one. Besides being a boring task, this can lead to problems when new packages are added to a jar, for example.

There should be an option in the project customizer in order to make possible to expose all packages as public.
Comment 1 Jesse Glick 2006-01-04 19:01:22 UTC 
project.xml can contain <subpackages> if necessary (see harness/README for
details). This option is intentionally omitted from the GUI for simplicity.
Comment 2 misterm 2006-01-05 00:08:51 UTC 
As far as I understand it, <subpackages /> only work if the module name is
actually a prefix for them, what is not my case since both the framework I am
working on and the module for adding its jars reside in the same CVS tree (so
framework is org.framework, but plugin base is actually
org.framework.plugin.netbeans).

Unless I have missed something, it would still make sense to add this option to
the UI. Please let me know if you agree.
Comment 3 Jesse Glick 2006-01-05 18:43:00 UTC 
<subpackages>org.framework</subpackages> is what you want.
