The answer is very simple : I don't want to build an application, I just
want to follow the examples in the book step by step. You suggested me
to purchase this book and to read it carefully, that is what I am doing.
In chapter 1, we are just testing the effect of selecting ide modules in
the library on a sample project built from scratch that contains no
module : activating the Image editor, activating the Utilities module,
etc... and seeing how menus are modified and haw images can be edited.
Using the sample code downloaded from the link given in the book gives
the same result as my project built from scratch.
As I said in the previous mail, the approach that you suggest for the
XML editor is very long and not understandable for a beginner : how can
I guess which modules are not needed ? For most of them, I have no idea
of what they are doing ! I thought that at least the error message could
help in finding the missing modules, but it does not help.
I was trying this approach for almost an hour but I could not identify
the missing modules.
OK, forget this mail, I give up with NB Platform.

The question is what it is you’re trying to achieve here. Given what
you’re trying to do right now, your approach could be considered to be
“wrong”, i.e., start by thinking of the larger idea of the application
you’re trying to build and the features you need for that.
A better approach than building up an IDE from scratch, as you seem to
be doing, is to start from the full IDE and remove the parts you don’t
need. It’s the exact opposite to what you’re doing, please consider it.

Thank you Geertjan
This is a simple exercise to look at the possibilities that each
ide module can give. I tried successfully the image editor and the
Utilities module, but it is clear that some other ide modules need
to be selected for the XML editor since I can run with all ide
modules selected.
But how can I find the missing modules ? Of course, I could start
with all ide modules selected and try to unselect one module at
each run until it fails, but it would take a very long time. How
the error message can help ?

Hello.
Running Netbeans 12.0 with OpenJDK11 on Linux Mint 19.3 x64.
Trying to run some examples in chapter 1 of the nbp4beginners
book. I
just created a sample project without any module, and tried
to select
some modules from the ide cluster in the properties-libraries
window,
such as Image or Utilities. All is OK.
Then I followed the 1.2.5.5 chapter in order to activate the
XML Text
editor :

Some other related modules are selected when clicking the
"Resolve"
button, all seems to be OK, but running the project fails,
and I get an
error message (see the attached document). This message does
not help me
in finding which module is missing.
Trying again with selecting the whole ide cluster (all ide
modules are
selected), and running again the project is fine : I get a
colored
syntax when opening xml files, and there is a contextual menu
for XML
options.
So, selecting only the XML Text editor module and the related
modules by
the "Resolve" button is not enough. Could anybody help me in
finding
what modules are really needed ? I join the log file that
contains the
errors.
Note for Geertjan : this is NOT the tutorial that we
discussed yesterday
and that works perfectly :)
