Note that this API is primarily of interest to project type provider modules, and to infrastructure and generic GUI. Most other modules providing tools or services should not need to explicitly model projects, and should not be using this API much or at all.

If you are providing a project, there are a number of interfaces which you should consider implementing and including in lookup, some of which are described below.

If you are providing a project, there are a number of interfaces which you should consider implementing and including in lookup, some of which are described below. If you are using a project from another module, there are some cases where you will want to ask a project for a particular object in lookup (e.g. ExtensibleMetadataProvider) but in most cases you should not; in the case of queries, always call the static query API helper method, rather than looking for the query implementation objects yourself. In the case of ProjectInformation and Sources, use ProjectUtils rather than directly searching the project lookup.

The following abilities are recommended:

1. org.netbeans.api.project.ProjectInformation
2. LogicalViewProvider
3. CustomizerProvider
4. org.netbeans.api.project.Sources
5. org.netbeans.spi.project.ActionProvider
6. org.netbeans.spi.project.SubprojectProvider
7. org.netbeans.spi.project.AuxiliaryConfiguration
8. org.netbeans.spi.project.CacheDirectoryProvider

You might also have e.g.:

1. org.netbeans.spi.project.ProjectConfigurationProvider
2. org.netbeans.spi.queries.FileBuiltQueryImplementation
3. org.netbeans.spi.queries.SharabilityQueryImplementation
4. org.netbeans.spi.queries.FileEncodingQueryImplementation
5. ProjectOpenedHook
6. RecommendedTemplates
7. PrivilegedTemplates
8. ClassPathProvider
9. SourceForBinaryQueryImplementation
10. SourceLevelQueryImplementation
11. JavadocForBinaryQueryImplementation
12. AccessibilityQueryImplementation
13. MultipleRootsUnitTestForSourceQueryImplementation
14. ProjectXmlSavedHook
15. AntArtifactProvider
16. SearchInfo
17. BinaryForSourceQueryImplementation
18. AntBuildExtender
19. CreateFromTemplateAttributesProvider

Typical implementation:

 private final Lookup lookup = Lookups.fixed(new Object[] {
 new MyAbility1(this),
 // ...
 });
 public Lookup getLookup() {
 return lookup;
 }
