Provides Java Model API access.
<api type="export" category="devel" group="systemproperty" name="ensure.built.source.roots">
When the <code>ensure.built.source.roots</code> property is set during ant script execution,
the <code>javac</code> task will not actually build the classfiles from scratch, but rather copy classfiles
produced by the Java infrastructure into the output folder. The content of the property will
be interpreted as list of source roots, for which the artifacts should be copied.

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.

What other NetBeans projects and modules does this one depend on?
<hint>
Depending on other NetBeans projects influnces the ability of
users of your work to customize their own branded version of
NetBeans by enabling and disabling some modules. Too
much dependencies restrict this kind of customization. If that
is your case, then you may want to split your functionality into
pieces of autoload, eager and regular modules which can be
enabled independently. Usually the answer to this question
is generated from your <code>project.xml</code> file, but
if it is not guessed correctly, you can suppress it by

<question id="dep-non-nb" when="init">
What other projects outside NetBeans does this one depend on?
<hint>
Depending on 3rd party libraries is always problematic,
especially if they are not open source, as that complicates
the licensing scheme of NetBeans. Please enumerate your
external dependencies here, so it is correctly understood since
the begining what are the legal implications of your project.
Also please note that
some non-NetBeans projects are packaged as NetBeans modules
(see <a href="http://libs.netbeans.org/">libraries</a>) and
it is preferred to use this approach when more modules may
depend and share such third-party libraries.

What threading models, if any, does your module adhere to? How the

Is your API threadsafe? Can it be accessed from any threads or

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.
