Eclipse Extension Point Schema Definition Change from Eclipse 3.4 to 3.5 [message #478815]

Hi,

I recently noticed that the Extension Point Schema Editor introduced a
change in the schema definition for extension points.
It changed the element from
- element/annotation/appinfo to element/annotation/appInfo
- attribute/annotation/appinfo to attribute/annotation/appInfo
(i.e. the 'i' in appinfo changed to 'I' in appInfo)

I am wondering whether this might cause problems for users of a pre 3.5
Eclipse IDE when using exsd's from a 3.5 Eclipse IDE.
I know of users that still use 3.3 and 3.4 (because of company policies). If the appInfo element would be interpreted case sensitive than they would not be able to see the documentation.

Tschüß,
Stefan

Users of a pre 3.5 Eclipse IDE shouldn't be using exsd's from 3.5 releases. PDE doesn't support using targets from future releases.

I would need to look up the bug to be sure, but I believe that support for either appInfo or appinfo was backported to 3.4.2.
