Specify and and auto-install edit-time NIPM dependencies

Status: New

Package build specs include a way to specify runtime package dependencies, and LabVIEW 2023 Q1 includes a utility to assist you in identifying and installing NI drivers used by a .... JKI dragon now exists to specify/install VIPM dependencies for projects.

 

The missing piece is non-NI NIPM packages. For instance, my company distributes a bunch of NIPM packages containing PPLs that are required by multiple projects. It'd be nice if these packages could be added to the "Manage Dependencies" dialog.

 

My idea is to add a way to specify at the project level what non-NI NIPM packages are needed to edit/build the project, which can then behave similarly to JKI dragon or the "NI drivers utility," so we can declare more of the dependencies for developing the project.
