Can two or more modules contain the same package?
Yes, NetBeans (as of 6.1) does permit multiple modules to load from a single package. However, this should be considered poor style and avoided whenever possible. In particular, the Java runtime forbids package-private accesses between classes defined by different class loaders (e.g. classes contained in different modules). Applies to: NetBeans 6.1+ How can code in one module be notified when other modules are loaded or unloaded? Let’s begin by stating that you probably do not need to know when other modules are loaded or unloaded. The module system takes care of dependency management for you, so your module should never be loaded unless all of its stated dependencies are loaded too. The normal means of communicating between modules about available services (which you could consider indirect dependencies) is using the Lookup API. If what you really wanted was to know when a service became available, you do not need to listen to module load or unload events as such; which module hosts t
