| <!-- Question: arch-what |
| |
| <question id="arch-what"> |
| What is this project good for? |
| <hint> |
| Please provide here few lines describing the the project, |
| what problem it should solve, provide links to documentation, |
| specifications, etc. |
| </hint> |
| </question> |

| The module implements an editor for JSP pages, including syntax coloring and code completion. |
| </answer> |
| |
| |
| <!-- Question: compat-i18n |
| |
| <question id="compat-i18n"> |
| Is your module correctly internationalized? |
| <hint> |
| Correct internationalization means that it obeys instuctions |
| at <a href="http://www.netbeans.org/devhome/docs/i18n/index.html"> |
| NetBeans I18N pages</a>. |
| </hint> |
| </question> |
| --> |
| <answer id="compat-i18n"> |
| Yes. |
| </answer> |
| |
| |
| |
| <!-- Question: compat-standards |
| |
| <question id="compat-standards"> |
| Does the module implements or defines any standards? Is the |
| implementation exact or it deviates somehow? |
| </question> |
| --> |
| <answer id="compat-standards"> |
| It loosely (non-normatively) follows the standard syntax for JSP, Java and HTML. |
| It relies on the Servlet/JSP specification to interpret the syntax of JSP pages. |
| The module itself does not implement or define any standard. |
| </answer> |
| |
| |
| |
| <!-- Question: compat-version |
| |
| <question id="compat-version"> |
| Does your module properly coexists with earlier and future |
| versions? Can you correctly read settings? Will future |
| versions be able to read settings? |
| |
| <hint> |
| Very helpful for reading settings is to store version number |
| there, so future versions can decide whether how to read/convert |
| the settings and older versions can ignore the new ones. |
| </hint> |
| </question> |
| --> |
| <answer id="compat-version"> |
| The module persists information about editor colors for JSP syntax elements. |
| It can read this information stored by previous versions of the IDE, and it is |
| anticipated that future versions of the module will be able to read the current |
| format. |
| </answer> |

| <hint> |
| It is expected that if your module runs on 1.x that it will run |
| on 1.x+1 if no, state that please. Also describe here cases where |
| you run different code on different versions of JRE and why. |
| </hint> |
| </question> |

| |
| |
| <!-- Question: dep-non-nb |
| |
| <question id="dep-non-nb"> |
| What other non-NetBeans projects this one depends on? |
| |
| <hint> |
| Some non-NetBeans projects are packaged as NetBeans modules |

| <!-- Question: deploy-packages |
| |
| <question id="deploy-packages"> |
| Are packages of your module made inaccessible by not declaring them |
| public? |
| |
| <hint> |
| NetBeans module system allows restriction of access rights to |
| public classes of your module from other modules. This prevents |
| unwanted dependencies of others on your code and should be used |
| whenever possible (<a href="http://www.netbeans.org/download/apis/org/openide/doc-files/upgrade.html#3.4-public-packages"> |
| public packages |

| <!-- Question: exec-component |
| |
| <question id="exec-component"> |
| Is execution of your code influenced by (string) property |
| of any of your components? |
| |
| <hint> |
| Often <code>JComponent.getClientProperty</code>, <code>Action.getValue</code> |
| or <code>PropertyDescriptor.getValue</code>, etc. are used to influence |
| a behaviour of some code. This of course forms an interface that should |
| be documented. Also if one depends on some interface that an object |
| implements (<code>component instanceof Runnable</code>) that forms an |
| API as well. |
| </hint> |

| |
| <hint> |
| If there is a property that can change the behaviour of your |
| code, somebody will likely use it. You should describe what it does |
| and the stability category of this API. You may use |

| |
| <!-- Question: exec-reflection |
| |
| <question id="exec-reflection"> |
| Does your code uses java.lang.reflect to execute some other code? |

| |
| <question id="format-types"> |
| Which file formats your code reads or writes on disk? |
| </question> |
| --> |
| <answer id="format-types"> |
| Indirectly (through the Editor module) it stores settings of the JSP editor. |
| It also reads the parser database files (through the same module). |

| What is the amount of memory your component occupies? Estimate |
| with a relaction to the number of windows, etc. |
| </question> |
| --> |
| <answer id="perf-mem"> |
| Most of the data structures created by this module are kept by the editor module, |
| so indirectly the module does occupy some space. This space is proportional to the |
| size of open JSP files. |
| </answer> |
| |
| |
| |
| <!-- Question: perf-menus |
| |
| <question id="perf-menus"> |

| |
| <question id="perf-progress"> |
| Does your module executes some long running task? |
| <hint>Typically they are tasks like connecting over |

| <!-- Question: resources-file |
| |
| <question id="resources-file"> |
| Does your module use <code>java.io.File</code> directly? |
| |
| <hint> |
| NetBeans provide a logical wrapper over plain files called |
| <code>org.openide.filesystems.FileObject</code> that |

| <question id="resources-layer"> |
| Does your module provide own layer? Does it create some files or |
| folders on it? What it is trying to communicate by that and with which |
| component? |
| |
| <hint> |
| NetBeans allows automatic and declarative installation of resources |
| by module layers. Module register files into appropriate places |
| and other components use that information to perform their task |
| (build menu, toolbar, window layout, list of templates, set of |
| options, etc.). |
| </hint> |
| </question> |
| --> |
| <answer id="resources-layer"> |
| Yes. It registers its components with the Editor module using this layer. |

| <!-- Question: resources-mask |
| |
| <question id="resources-mask"> |
| Does your module mask/hide/override any resource provided by another one in |
| module layer? |
| |
| <hint> |
| If you mask a file provided by another module, you probably depend |
| on that and do not want the other module to (for example) change |
| the file's name. That module shall thus make that file available as an API |
| of some stability category. |
| </hint> |

| <!-- Question: resources-read |
| |
| <question id="resources-read"> |
| Does your module read any resources from layers? For what purpose? |
| |
| <hint> |
| As this is some kind of intermodule dependency, it is a kind of API. |
| Please describe it and clasify according to |
| <a href="http://openide.netbeans.org/tutorial/api-design.html#categories"> |
| common stability categories</a>. |

| Do you define or register any ant tasks that other can use? |

| <hint> |
| If you provide an ant task that users can use, you need to be very |
| careful about its syntax and behaviour, as it most likely forms an |
| API for end users and as there is a lot of end users, their reaction |
| when such API gets broken can be pretty strong. |

| <question id="exec-threading" when="init"> |
| What threading models, if any, does your module adhere to? How the |
| project behaves with respect to threading? |
| <hint> |
| Is your API threadsafe? Can it be accessed from any threads or |
| just from some dedicated ones? Any special relation to AWT and |
| its Event Dispatch thread? Also |
| if your module calls foreign APIs which have a specific threading model, |
| indicate how you comply with the requirements for multithreaded access |
| (synchronization, mutexes, etc.) applicable to those APIs. |
| If your module defines any APIs, or has complex internal structures |
| that might be used from multiple threads, declare how you protect |
| data against concurrent access, race conditions, deadlocks, etc., |
| and whether such rules are enforced by runtime warnings, errors, assertions, etc. |
| Examples: a class might be non-thread-safe (like Java Collections); might |
| be fully thread-safe (internal locking); might require access through a mutex |
| (and may or may not automatically acquire that mutex on behalf of a client method); |
| might be able to run only in the event queue; etc. |
| Also describe when any events are fired: synchronously, asynchronously, etc. |
