<answer id="arch-overall">
<api group="java" name="JavaPlatformAPI" type="export" category="official">
The Java Platform API permits access to installed Java platforms (for example,
the J2SE JDK, or various mobile-device emulators for J2ME). Particular platform
types are registered by modules and can store customized information about the
platform to disk. <br/>
<b>Note</b> that this module concentrates the part of th API which is independent of
the client desktop (and Swing UI library) environment. Its desktop-dependent counterpart
is in the <a href="@org-netbeans-modules-java-platform-ui@/index.html">
org.netbeans.modules.java.platform.ui</a> module.

you want to use? What/how much area of functionality
should be covered by the tests?

</question>

<answer id="arch-quality">
<p>
Ought to be covered by unit tests, with the exception of GUI components which
may need functional tests.

implement this and what is the expected milestone the work should be
ready.

<answer id="arch-time">
<p>
It is working and no major efforts are thought to remain.

<!--
<question id="arch-usecases" when="init">
Describe the main <a href="http://openide.netbeans.org/tutorial/api-design.html#usecase">
use cases</a> of the new API. Who will use it at
what circumstances and what will be the typical code to write
to use the module.
</question>
-->
<answer id="arch-usecases">
<p>
The API can be used by any code wishing to know the list of installed
platforms and information about each one; typically this would be used by
project type providers to implement a customizer dialog. The SPI is intended
to be implemented by a few modules supply support for locating and
introspecting installed platforms, for example a JDK setup wizard.
</p>
</answer>
<!--
<question id="arch-what" when="init">
What is this project good for?
<hint>
Please provide here a few lines describing the project,
what problem it should solve, provide links to documentation,
specifications, etc.
</hint>
</question>
-->
<answer id="arch-what">
<p>
Many Java-based project types need to be able to configure the version and
location of Java to be used when building and running the project. This
API/SPI permits these platforms to be registered and queried, and any
customizations made in an appropriate GUI and persisted to disk.
</p>
</answer>
<!--
<question id="compat-i18n" when="impl">
Is your module correctly internationalized?
<hint>
Correct internationalization means that it obeys instructions
at <a href="http://www.netbeans.org/download/dev/javadoc/org-openide-modules/org/openide/modules/doc-files/i18n-branding.html">
NetBeans I18N pages</a>.
</hint>
</question>
-->
<answer id="compat-i18n">
<p>
Yes. The only UI of platform module is a platform template wizard and customizer and it is localized.
Platforms can provide display names. The main portion of the wizard/customizer UI is supplied by the platform type.
</p>
</answer>
<!--
<question id="compat-standards" when="init">
Does the module implement or define any standards? Is the
implementation exact or does it deviate somehow?
</question>
-->
<answer id="compat-standards">
<p>
No.
</p>
</answer>
<!--
<question id="compat-version" when="impl">
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.
</hint>
</question>
-->
<answer id="compat-version">
<p>
Yes.
The platform module does not provide any persistence mechanism.
</p>
</answer>
<!--
<question id="dep-jre" when="final">
Which version of JRE do you need (1.2, 1.3, 1.4, etc.)?
<hint>
It is expected that if your module runs on 1.x that it will run
on 1.x+1 if no, state that please. Also describe here cases where
you run different code on different versions of JRE and why.
</hint>
</question>
-->
<answer id="dep-jre">
<p>
1.4+.
</p>
</answer>
<!--
<question id="dep-jrejdk" when="final">
Do you require the JDK or is the JRE enough?
</question>
-->
<answer id="dep-jrejdk">
<p>
JRE, though the <q>default platform</q> (the one running the IDE itself) would
be the JDK.

What other NetBeans projects and modules does this one depend on?

Are packages of your module made inaccessible by not declaring them

<hint>
NetBeans module system allows restriction of access rights to
public classes of your module from other modules. This prevents
unwanted dependencies of others on your code and should be used
whenever possible (<a href="http://www.netbeans.org/download/javadoc/OpenAPIs/org/openide/doc-files/upgrade.html#3.4-public-packages">

making it too easy for other people to misuse your implementation

What threading models, if any, does your module adhere to?
<hint>
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.
Also describe when any events are fired: synchronously, asynchronously, etc.
