15
<p>The Add Module Dependency dialog box lets you add the modules
16
that your module needs. When you do so, the IDE adds entries
17
to the module's <tt>project.xml</tt> file.
19
<p>You can open the Add Module Dependency dialog box by right-clicking a project's
20
Libraries node and then choosing Add Module Dependency. Alternatively, right-click
22
and then choose Properties. In the Project Properties dialog box, choose Libraries
23
and then click Add next to the Module Dependencies list.
25
<p>In the NetBeans Platform Manager, you can use the following fields:
27
<li><b>Filter.</b> Search for the modules
28
you need by typing the class that you want to use. The module dependencies list narrows,
29
listing only those modules that can provide the class that you are typing.
30
<li><b>Show Non-API Modules</b>. If unchecked (default), the IDE excludes any module
31
for which the current module cannot access any packages without an implementation
32
dependency. These are known as "non-API modules".
33
In other words, only modules with public packages are included,
34
or friend packages where this module is a friend.
36
<p>Once you have found the module you need, click OK, and then the IDE
37
will add the associated entries in the <tt>project.xml</tt> file.
