How to get C/C++ API's inorder to add new functionality to it?

[Nitishp24]

Hi,
I have started using netbeans for past one year and have started to like it very much.I am especially interested in C/C++ capability of netbeans. So i thought i can try adding some new functionality to it, but i am not finding any C/C++ API's exposed when i try adding "dependency" to my module.After googling around a bit i found that if you want to use C/C++ API's you need to register your module as a friend.
If so could some one help me out as to how to achieve this, is there any procedure for this, limitations..etc.?
But it is strange that i am able to get all the API's of netbeans but not C/C++ why is that?

I i can get the entire C/C++ API's it would be very good, as i would really like to experiment on it a bit and see how it all works.

Thanks.

Hi Nitishp24,

As work around you can use implementation dependency.
If your module want to be a friend of some C/C++ modules, please file a bug:
https://netbeans.org/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi
Provide info in the bug:
- what is your project
- your code base
- which module friends
