I've been handed a text editor that was originally written for Eclipse
2.x, first coerced to run under 3.0, then again to run under 3.1.
The editor itself is an extension of AbstractDecoratedTextEditor,
while the document provider is an extension of FileDocumentProvider.
It still works in 3.1.2, more or less, but one major problem is that
it can't be used to edit files outside the workspace as "modern"
editors can.
Further, looking at the source code, the Java editor and the Problems
light up like Christmas trees, full of warnings about deprecated
methods and discouraged accesses to things that have probably been
reimplemented a half-dozen times since this code was written.
I've looked through the 2.0-to-3.0 and the 3.0-to-3.1 migration
guides, but if somebody can point me to some more concrete examples or
documents describing the migration issues and techniques for this sort
of project, I'd appreciate it.
