API Changes

• (Feb 7 2010) Initial import, for 0.7alpha milestone. Half of APIs are fully documented and the rest needs to be soon. Expose only Core APIs, that plugins could need by now. Friend packages exists, in particular between Plugin and PluginUI modules but they are not shown here. Netbeans APIs documentation dependencies are missing, thus see Netbeans API Index. Due to early development status, most of APIs are still marked as under development. Moreover APIs marked as stable are also suspected to change, but with much less impact than ones marked as under development.
