Although the class SourceOptions cannot be moved, it should be possible to the .settings file and the links to this file from the core/ide xml layer to the xml layer in the java module. This should be done because of users of the platform who want to build an IDE with no Java support.
Cleaning up before 4.0 planning
Target milestone was changed from not determined to TBD
This is pretty important for platform usage, I think. I would like to suggest going further and physically moving all of org.openide.src.** to the java/api module. I am willing to do the work if you don't have any objections (if so, reassign to me). Suggested course of action: 0. Change the summary of this issue to reflect the broadened goal. 1. Physically move openide/src/org/openide/src/ to java/api/src/org/openide/src/. 2. Newly written modules would need to depend on org.netbeans.api.java in order to use these packages. All standard NB modules using these packages should have their manifests updated. 3. For compatibility, org.netbeans.core.modules.NbInstaller can automatically add such a dependency to any old module (detected acc. to openide spec version requested - the infrastructure for this is already in place, it is easy). 4. Move all IZ issues in "openide/java hierarchy" to "java/api". 5. Move Java Hierarchy API documentation to java/api/doc/ alongside the classpath stuff. 6. As already written, move the SourceOptions registration to the java or java/api module.
Falls under "separation of openide into libraries".
I would rather move the src hierarchy into a completely separate module, something like java/src-api (?) The java/api will most probably outlive the source hierarchy (as it will be deprecated after Java/MDR integration is complete).
I agree. That was actually what I planned to do. Something like java/srcmodel.
Just following item #0 from the checklist :-)

Fixed as part of issue #19443, which see.
