---------------------------------------
Summary: Add Export Package menu item in popup menu when
right-click a package in a jigsaw modular Java project
Key: NETBEANS-1101
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-1101
Project: NetBeans
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: java - Project
Affects Versions: 9.0
Environment: JDK 9 and later
Reporter: John Kostaras
Fix For: Next
Attachments: NB-export-package.png
As of Java 9, modules have been introduced in the Java language. One can export
a package in a Java module by adding an exports command in the module
descriptor. Then the package's icon in the Project Explore turns into an open
lock.
A nice enhancement would be to add a new menu item *Export package* like in the
attachment, when displaying the popup menu on right-clicking on a package of a
modularized Java application, that would do the job for you, i.e. add the line
{{exports <package name>;}}
in the module descriptor. The menu action will then be replaced by an *Unexport
package* to revert the action and remove the above line from the module
descriptor, should the user wishes to.
This functionality already exists in NetBeans RCP module system and it would be
a nice addition for jigsaw modules too.
These menu items should only be visible for jigsaw modularized projects, i.e.
projects with a module descriptor.
