             Some non-NetBeans projects are packaged as NetBeans modules
             (see <a href="http://libs.netbeans.org">libraries</a>) and
             it is prefered to use this approach when more modules may

             or politely ignore settings stored by a future version?

             <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.

             NetBeans provide a logical wrapper over plain files called
             <code>org.openide.filesystems.FileObject</code> that
             provides uniform access to such resources and is the prefered

             <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

             <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.

             If there is a property that can change the behaviour of your

 		The extra functionality avaiable for the Tomcat in the
 		server side component currently uses reflection.
 		The server side component was originally designed to
 		run on Tomcat only, and used Tomcat specific
 		interfaces to achieve its task. With the advent of
 		Filters in version 2.3 of the Servlet specification,
 		it was possible to provide most, but not all,  of the
 		functionality using the Servlet APIs. In order not to
 		lose functionality, a couple of pieces were
 		reimplemented using Tomcat specific interfaces. These
 		are not required for the tool to operate. In Servlet
 		2.4, practically all the Monitor functionality can be
 		provided through the Servlet APIs, and we will

	<answer id="arch-what">
	The HTTP Monitor is a tool for debugging J2EE web-tier
	applications.
	</answer>

	<answer id="dep-nb">
	The HTTP Monitor client (the IDE module) requires the OpenIDE
	and schema2beans.
	</answer>
	<!--
	<question id="dep-non-nb">
	What other projects outside NetBeans does this one depend on?

	<hint>
	Some non-NetBeans projects are packaged as NetBeans modules
	(see <a href="http://libs.netbeans.org">libraries</a>) and
	it is prefered to use this approach when more modules may
	depend on such third-party library.
	</hint>
	</question>
	-->
	<answer id="dep-non-nb">
	The HTTP Monitor client (the IDE module) requires the HTTP
	Servlet APIs version 2.0 or higher. The HTTP Monitor
	server side component requires a J2EE servlet container
	implementing Servlet 2.3 or higher.
	</answer>

	<!--
	<question id="dep-platform">
	On which platforms does your module run? Does it run in the same
	way on each?
	<hint>
	If your module is using JNI or deals with special differences of
	OSes like filesystems, etc. please describe here what they are.
	</hint>
	</question>
	-->
	<answer id="dep-platform">
	The HTTP Monitor server side component contains some extra
	functionality for Tomcat 4.0 or higher. It is possible for
	other Server vendors to provide the same level of functionality
	on their servers.
	</answer>

	<!--
	<question id="dep-jre">
	Which version of JRE do you need (1.2, 1.3, 1.4, etc.)?
	<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>
	-->
	<answer id="dep-jre">
	JRE 1.3
	</answer>

	<!--
	<question id="dep-jrejdk">
	Do you require the JDK or is the JRE enough?
	</question>
	-->
	<answer id="dep-jrejdk">
	JRE only.
	</answer>

	<!--
	<question id="deploy-jar">
	Do you deploy just module JAR file(s) or other files as well?
	<hint>
	If your module consists of just one module JAR file, just confirm that.
	If it uses more than one JAR, describe where they are located, how
	they refer to each other.
	If it consist of module JAR(s) and other files, please describe
	what is their purpose, why other files are necessary. Please
	make sure that installation/deinstallation leaves the system
	in state as it was before installation.
	</hint>
	</question>
	-->
	<answer id="deploy-jar">
	The HTTP Monitor client (the IDE module) consists of
	httpmonitor.jar only. The server side component, which
	is deployed on a Servlet container, consists of
	monitor.jar which resides in modules/ext. It needs to
	be made available as a shared library on the Servlet
	engine, together with schema2beans.jar. There is also
	an optional jar file, monitor-valve.jar, which
	provides some extra functionality for the Tomcat
	Servlet container.

	<!--
	<question id="deploy-shared">
	Do you need to be installed in the shared location only, or in the user directory only,
	or can your module be installed anywhere?
	<hint>
	Installation location shall not matter, if it does explain why.
	Consider also whether <code>InstalledFileLocator</code> can help.
	</hint>
	</question>
	-->
	<answer id="deploy-shared">
	This module can be installed anywhere.
	</answer>
	<!--
	<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
	</a>).

	<answer id="deploy-packages">
	No but they should be...
	</answer>

	<!--
	<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>

	<question id="compat-standards">
	Does the module implement or define any standards? Is the
	implementation exact or does it deviate somehow?

	-->
	<answer id="compat-standards">
	No
	</answer>

	<!--
	<question id="compat-version">
	Can your module coexist with earlier and future
	versions of itself? Can you correctly read all old settings? Will future
	versions be able to read your current settings? Can you read
	or politely ignore settings stored by a future version?

	<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">
	Yes, as long as the client-side component and the server-side
	component are from the same version. Data files are portable.
	</answer>

	<!--
	<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
	provides uniform access to such resources and is the prefered
	way that should be used. But of course there can be situations when
	this is not suitable.

	<!--
	<question id="resources-layer">
	Does your module provide own layer? Does it create any files or
	folders in it? What it is trying to communicate by that and with which
	components?

	<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 installs one action in two menus (View and Debug) and
	on the Debugging toolbar.
	</answer>
	<!--
	<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>.
	</hint>
	</question>

	<answer id="resources-read">
	No
	</answer>

	<!--
	<question id="resources-mask">
	Does your module mask/hide/override any resources provided by other modules in
	their layers?

	<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>

	<answer id="resources-mask">
	No
	</answer>


	<!--
	<question id="lookup-lookup">
	Does your module use <code>org.openide.util.Lookup</code>
	to find any components to communicate with? Which ones?

	<hint>
	Please describe the interfaces you are searching for, where
	are defined, whether you are searching for just one or more of them,
	if the order is important, etc. Also clasify the stability of such
	API contract.
	</hint>
	</question>
	-->

	<answer id="lookup-lookup">
	Yes. It currently uses lookup to get the root of the
	system file system, and to display dialogs.
	</answer>

	<!--
	<question id="lookup-register">
	Do you register anything into lookup for other code to find?
	<hint>
	Do you register using layer file or using <code>META-INF/services</code>?
	Who is supposed to find your component?
	</hint>
	</question>
	-->
	<answer id="lookup-register">
	No
	</answer>
	<!--

	<question id="lookup-remove">
	Do you remove entries of other modules from lookup?
	<hint>
	Why? Of course, that is possible, but it can be dangerous. Is the module
	your are masking resource from aware of what you are doing?

	<question id="exec-property">
	Is execution of your code influenced by any environment or
	Java system (<code>System.getProperty</code>) property?

	<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
	<pre>
	<api type="export" group="property" name="id" category="private">
	description of the property, where it is used, what it influence, etc.

	<!--
	<question id="exec-component">
	Is execution of your code influenced by any (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.

	<answer id="exec-classloader">
	No
	</answer>

	<!--
	<question id="exec-reflection">
	Does your code use Java Reflection to execute other code?
	<hint>
	This usually indicates a missing or unsufficient API in the other
	part of the system. If the other side is not aware of your dependency
	this contract can be easily broken.
	</hint>
	</question>
	-->

	<answer id="exec-reflection">
	The extra functionality avaiable for the Tomcat in the
	server side component currently uses reflection.
	The server side component was originally designed to
	run on Tomcat only, and used Tomcat specific
	interfaces to achieve its task. With the advent of
	Filters in version 2.3 of the Servlet specification,
	it was possible to provide most, but not all, of the
	functionality using the Servlet APIs. In order not to
	lose functionality, a couple of pieces were
	reimplemented using Tomcat specific interfaces. These
	are not required for the tool to operate. In Servlet
	2.4, practically all the Monitor functionality can be
	provided through the Servlet APIs, and we will
	probably remove the one remaining piece that requires
	cooperation by the server.
	</answer>

	<!--
	<question id="exec-privateaccess">
	Are you aware of any other parts of the system calling some of
	your methods by reflection?
	<hint>
	If so, describe the "contract" as an API. Likely private or friend one, but
	still API and consider rewrite of it.

	-->

	<answer id="format-types">
	The HTTP Monitor client and server side components use HTTP to
	communicate with one another. They require an IDE internal HTTP
