How do I find out what is the minimum set of dependencies to add to a pom file for a NetBeans platform application to be able to edit xml files with syntax highlighting? In other words, does anybody know how to enable XML editor support in a basic NetBeans platform application?
It works great if I just add the whole ide cluster, but then it does all sorts of other things that I do not care about. I just want the minimum functionality to handle XML files. I do not need everything else ide cluster contains.
Any help is appreciated.
This is what we have figured out the best configuration is in case somebody is interested (creates a robust IDE which handles XML, HTML, image and PDF files and not anything else that is not needed):

Also, by default, application is launched with very small default JVM memory configuration. I found that increasing memory to at least 1Gig works great. So, pass following arguments to the executable:
-J-Xms1G -J-Xmx1G
