Description
Netbeans seems to be able to support Servlet 3.0 web fragments only at compile/deployment time (see web-fragment.xml uses for splitting a web application into more reusable fragments).
From the project view, when I work on a given fragment project which is imported by the actual Web application, the Editor is not showing Java errors at all. Also the debugging of code located into a web fragment project is not possible. It looks that only the code located in the Web application project is assisted by the Editor and by the Debugger.
This makes very difficult to benefit from the Servlet 3.0 web fragments during development. It will works one compiled, yes... but with very few help from Netbeans tools.
Moreover, while editing a resource such as a JSP page located in a web fragment project there is no API support at all... no drop down available with suggestions...
The web fragments are very useful for writing reusable web components, it's a pity that we cannot use it easely !! I please ask you to fix asap this wanderful Servlet 3.0 feature in a way that coding and debugging a web application made up by web fragments will be flowless like other kind of developments.
