netbeans + maven : what dependencies to add to gain editor capabilities like files line number?

[bernie_bontemps]

When creating a mavenized netbeans application,
you start with a app stripped of many functionalities.

I have been looking around for a while now,
but still can't find how to add a basic editor capability :
i would like the editor to display line numbers !

Could somebody provides me of few hints on :
1) what dependencies do i need to declare to gain this specific functionality.
2) any pointers about the editor architecture and how to use it.

3) Additionally, how to find out all the dependencies you need when you want to implement an existing feature? Typically it seems that when you use the standard netbeans dependency management, you have a nice view of what dependencies are required for each functionality in Properties > Library plus a resolving mechanism. How do you find the same information while working with a mavenized app ?

Thanks.

As a alternative, i have try to download the ide cluster from the bits.netbeans.org repository by adding this dependency to my pom

<dependency>
<groupId>org.netbeans.cluster</groupId>
<artifactId>ide</artifactId>
<version>RELEASE69</version>
</dependency>

Maven failed to find some jars though it is looking at bits.netbeans.org/maven2

Failed to execute goal on project ide: Could not resolve dependencies for project bla:bla:nbm:1.0-SNAPSHOT: Could not find artifact org.netbeans.cluster:ide:jar:RELEASE701 in netbeans (http://bits.netbeans.org/maven2) -> [Help 1]

Anybody?

Thanks for the reply.

The default <type> in Maven is jar, thus if you use the
graphic interface to add dependencies, the build will fail.
You will ave to edit the pom manually and set the dependency "type"
attribute to "pom".

To get the editor, i ended up adding all editor dependencies i could find
and then exclude the one i did not need...
