Description

I don't know enough about how intermodule dependencies work, or I'd try to fix this...
In the code below, when I enter "BaseDocument" I request
"search module dependency for BaseDocument"; it succeeds and adds a dependency on org.netbeans.modules.editor.lib. But it won't compile. there still needs to be a dependency on org.netbeans.modules.editor.document. I seem to recall that this dependency should have been added automatically. The interface LineDocument is implemented by BaseDocument. BTW, LineDocument doesn't show up in the docs.

import org.netbeans.editor.BaseDocument;
public class NewClass {
void foo(BaseDocument doc) {
doc.runAtomicAsUser(() -> System.err.println(""));
}}
Error: class file for org.netbeans.api.editor.document.LineDocument not found
