Sometimes you have to tap into classes of Netbeans that are just fundamentally useful, but those are not public. Most of the time I understand why something is not made publicly available, but the more you build plugins and modules that need to integrate with the IDE (not the platform), the more "internal" classes you need especially when it comes to friends... Therefore you have to tweak and twist and hack the dependencies of the existing modules (become friend, link with an implementation version), but the problem is that you are obliged to create a version that is only compatible with a certain build even though the next release on NB would perfectly run with it.
So I would like to have your opinion here: how could request or handle changes in the visibility of the classes in modules?
