I20040226: [message #203042]

Platform.getInstanceLocation().toOSString() causes a compilation error in
I20040226 (undefined method) but works fine with M7.

Is this a known API change or a bug? How can I get the OS string now?

TIA

There was a message about this on eclipse-dev. getInstanceLocation() is a
new method for 3.0. It was recently changed to return a Location rather
than an IPath.

You can use getLocation() but eventually (after 3.0 as a minimum) this
method will be deprecated. All "locations" in the runtime are now Locations
and expressed in terms of URLs to give maximum flexibility.
