I am debugging a NetBeans Platform application.
I have downloaded the NetBeans Platform source code .zip file.
I would really really like to attach the source code to the debugger so that I can seamlessly jump to internal NB source code.

Normally I would edit the Library configuration to tell NB where to find the source code, and it would just work.
However this is not possible for NetBeans Modules; when I look at the Utilities API module dependency it does not look like a normal NB library and there is nowhere to add in the source code.

I suspect that if I were to rebuild my project using Maven this would work automatically. But thats a terrible reason to switch to maven.

How can I get the NB Platform Source code included into my Module Dependencies ?
