is it possible to add a pre-packaged nbm to a suite? Or with other words how to add a dependency to a module which is no netbeans core module?
Not currently (it would be nice). What you can do is cheat by creating your own nb platform instance with it installed:
- Either make a copy of NetBeans, or if there's a lot of stuff you don't want, create an empty suite. Then build it and create a zip distribution and unpack that.
- Launch the result
- In Tools | Plugins, install the NBM you want globally (check the "force install into shared directories" checkbox)
- Shut it down
- In your real IDE, use Tools | NetBeans Platforms to point at the copy of the platform that now has the module you want in it
- Set your suite to build against that. It should pick up the module you installed and all classes in it's public packages.
It ain't pretty but it should work.
