            What other NetBeans projects and modules does this one depend on?
            <hint>
            Depending on other NetBeans projects influnces the ability of
            users of your work to customize their own branded version of
            NetBeans by enabling and disabling some modules. Too
            much dependencies restrict this kind of customization. If that
            is your case, then you may want to split your functionality into
            pieces of autoload, eager and regular modules which can be
            enabled independently. Usually the answer to this question
            is generated from your <code>project.xml</code> file, but
            if it is not guessed correctly, you can suppress it by
            specifying &lt;defaultanswer generate="none"/&gt; and

            <hint>
            Depending on 3rd party libraries is always problematic,
            especially if they are not open source, as that complicates
            the licensing scheme of NetBeans. Please enumerate your
            external dependencies here, so it is correctly understood since
            the begining what are the legal implications of your project.
            Also please note that
            some non-NetBeans projects are packaged as NetBeans modules
            (see <a href="http://libs.netbeans.org/">libraries</a>) and
            it is preferred to use this approach when more modules may
            depend and share such third-party libraries.

                Is your API threadsafe? Can it be accessed from any threads or
                just from some dedicated ones? Any special relation to AWT and
                its Event Dispatch thread? Also
                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.
