                    Previously it was possible to place objects with an
                    <code>ExecCookie</code> into the <code>Startup</code> folder
                    of the system filesystem, and they would be run during
                    startup.
                </p>
                <p>
                    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 <code>ModuleInstall.restored</code> for
                    startup hooks, possibly providing special modes for user
                    customization, but there is no generic infrastructure for
                    this.

                <p>
                    Old constructors continue to behave as before but that
                    behavior is unlikely to be useful in NetBeans 4.0.

                <p>
                    All of the existing constructors of
                    <code>NbClassLoader</code> were deprecated since they used
                    Filesystems to refer to the classpath; one new classpath-safe
                    constructor was added instead.
                </p>
                <p>
                    For similar reasons, a number of static methods in the class
                    were deprecated as well.

                <p>
                    New code must declare which of the two modules (or both) it

                <p>
                    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.
