Thanks Michael for answering. Yes, I was thinking in pom artifacts with the required dependencies for independent modules and nothing more, like
- modules-core - modules-db - modules-editor - etc. Just like the cluster pom: <dependency> <groupId>org.netbeans.cluster</groupId> <artifactId>platform</artifactId> <version>${netbeans.version}</version> <type>pom</type> </dependency> And I was also thinking that maybe, the wizard for creating a netbeans platform app using a maven/graddle build, could add a panel to let the dev chose or enable IDE's modules as well, so we can "create" a chopped-off version or "Netbeans-Lite" if we want it too. Think of it like https://start.spring.io but just for netbeans rcp apps. But having the BoM POMs artifacts would suffice, I'd say. Thanks again. BR. ======================= Edwin F.
