Group of systemproperty interfaces

Interface Name	In/Out	Stability	Specified in What Document?
org.netbeans.log.startup	Exported	Friend	If started with -J-Dorg.netbeans.log.startup=print parameter, then times of various start operations are printed to console. If the value is -J-Dorg.netbeans.log.startup=file then the values are printed into file specified by -J-Dorg.netbeans.log.startup.logfile=filename. Since NetBeans 7.1 one can also fill in the file by standard XML format of log messages by using -J-Dorg.netbeans.log.startup=xml. Moreover if any module logs data to Logger.getLogger("org.netbeans.log.startup") with calls like log(Level.FINE, "start", "msg") and log(Level.FINE, "end", "msg") or log(Level.FINE, "progress", "msg"), then these messages are collected into the start log as well.
netbeans.logger.noSystem	Exported	Friend	Allows unit tests to prevent changes to System.err and System.out by the logging infrastructure.
org.netbeans.core.startup.ModuleList.firstModuleJarWins	Exported	Friend	Disables #113341 so that the first version of a module JAR to be encountered is loaded, even if a later cluster contains a newer version of the same module.
org.netbeans.core.systemfilesystem.custom	Exported	Under Development	This property can contain name of a class implementing FileSystem with a public default constructor. Such filesystem is then used during initialization of writable layer of system file system (see getConfigRoot). The filesystem may use or may ignore value of System.getProperty("netbeans.user"). Note: The class is loaded sooner then modules are initialized, as such the class providing it must be from a JAR file placed in to $cluster/core/ directory. Such JAR may have just a limited dependencies - e.g. only module system and filesystem API.
netbeans.bootdelegation	Exported	Under Development	Similar to OSGi's org.osgi.framework.bootdelegation property. Allows unit tests (or even regular code) to prevent classloading from application classloader for other, then explicitly enumerated packages. This property shall contain a set of comma separated values of package names. Classes from those packages will be loaded by the classloader framework from application classloader. If the name of a package ends with .* suffix, all packages under the given package name are allowed for delegation (but not the package by itself). The classes from the java.* namespace are allowed and do not need to be enumerated at all. If this property is not specified at all, all classes visible by the application classloader can be accessed. Available since version 1.26.
netbeans.productversion	Exported	Under Development	This property includes the display name presented to the user as Product Version in the About dialog box and in the log file.

Implementation Details

Where are the sources for the module?

The sources for the module are in the NetBeans Mercurial repositories.

What do other modules need to do to declare a dependency on this one, in addition to or instead of a plain module dependency?
