I was quite surprised when some plugins taht works fine on M4 doesn't work
on M5. Then I look for problem and I found Eclipse 3.0 porting guide. There
it was written that a new tag is included in plugin xml file - <?eclipse
version="3.0"?>
This change should allow the Eclipse runtime to reliaby recognize pre-3.0
plug-ins that have not been ported to 3.0, so that it can automatically
provide greater binary compatibility for such plug-ins.

I think that if I didn't specify this tag then my old plugins from
Eclipse2.1 or 3.0 M4 should work without any problem. Can somebody tell me
why they doesn't work then?
The log of workspace shows me that I had problem with IDocument.

Regards, Alex

From your description it looks like you are affected by a bug in the
backwards compatability support in M5. Please take a look at this defect
and try the patch.

M5 does introduce a large number of breaking API changes in addition to
plugin dependency changes. Have your recoded you plugin to avoid the APIs
that were removed in M5? It took us several days to update all of our
products to work in M5.
