# NetBeans Execution API

See:
Description

Execution API
org.openide.execution | The IDE uses a small interface to describe the execution of Java-based classes together with arguments.

### What is New (see all changes)?

- Mar 16 '04 Execution of `Startup` folder removed

  Previously it was possible to place objects with an `ExecCookie` into the `Startup` folder of the system filesystem, and they would be run during startup.

  In NetBeans 4.0 there is no such cookie any more, and that old style of execution is no longer supported. Modules may continue to use `ModuleInstall.restored` for startup hooks, possibly providing special modes for user customization, but there is no generic infrastructure for this.

- Mar 16 '04 `NbClassLoader` constructors deprecated

  All of the existing constructors of `NbClassLoader` were deprecated since they used Filesystems to refer to the classpath; one new classpath-safe constructor was added instead.

  For similar reasons, a number of static methods in the class were deprecated as well.

- Mar 16 '04 Execution API split into deprecated and nondeprecated halves

  As part of the NetBeans 4.0 build system, the Execution API was split into two halves. The first half continues to be used as before. The second half is now deprecated and lives in a separate module.
