Since the Java EE 8 Platform is not currently an available choice when creating an Apache NetBeans project, I have put together a Java EE 8 API module for inclusion in Apache NetBeans. To create the module, I followed the same structure as the existing javaee7.api module. At this time, the javaee8.api module resides in my GitHub repository. Since I have not yet added any new features or modules to Apache NetBeans, can someone point me into the correct direction as to the next step towards getting this API included with the Apache NetBeans distribution?
https://github.com/juneau001/javaee8.api I went through the external dependencies and I believe I've gotten the licenses correct for each, but those may need to be looked at just to be certain. I've also not been able to make the "Java EE 8" platform available as a drop-down menu selection for generation of new Apache NetBeans projects in my development environment. If this module is included in the Apache NetBeans distro, then someone may need to help me out with that as I'm not quite sure what files need to be registered in order to make the platform available for use in projects. Thanks in advance for your assistance and guidance...it is appreciated. -- Josh Juneau juneau...@gmail.com http://jj-blogger.blogspot.com https://www.apress.com/index.php/author/author/view/id/1866
