IPlatformRunnable versus IApplication in 3.3's RCP? [message #461977]

R3.2.1 (but looking ahead)

I see by checking out 3.3M4 for a trial run that IPlatformRunnable will be deprecated in favor of
IApplication. OK, but how to migrate? It looks, based on a quick glance at the two interfaces, like
the migration could be as simple as "in your RCP's 'Application' class, and everywhere else that you
use IPlatformRunnable, textually replace references to IPlatformRunnable with references
IApplication" -- but I worry that I am being too simple-minded. What is the correct procedure? (I
suppose this will be in the "3.2 to 3.3 migration guide", presumably not yet written?)

thanks,
Paul

AFAIK you replace IPlatformRunnable -> IApplication and put your
internals of IPlatformRunnable.run(Object) into the new
IApplication.start(IApplicationContext), thereby exchanging

IPlatformRunnable.EXIT_RESTART -> IApplication.EXIT_RESTART
IPlatformRunnable.EXIT_OK -> IApplication.EXIT_OK
