Formatter2 Warnings Everywhere: Discouraged access: The type IHiddenRegionFormatter [message #1720911]

Trying my first formatter2 work... with a whitespace language. Only example documentation I can find is the homeautomation example.

Nearly every access to the API I make gets a warning:

Discouraged access: The type IHiddenRegionFormatter is not accessible
due to restriction on required project <your project>

What does this mean? Where would I fix/adjust it?

Luna Xtext 2.8

it means: the api is not final and it may and will change in future releases (e.g. if you update to xtext 2.9)
if you can live with that you can use it anyway but you may not complain if api changes and you have to rework your formatter with a future release

Something pretty fundamental is not setup correctly:

Discouraged access: The type AbstractFormatter2 is not accessible due to restriction on required project <your project>

... and that warning is on the import statement!

Of course, all I knew to do was this in my MWE2 file:

// formatter API
// fragment = formatting.FormatterFragment auto-inject {}
//fragment = ecore2xtext.FormatterFragment auto-inject {}
fragment = formatting2.Formatter2Fragment {}

My project was using the ecore2xtext.FormatterFragment beforehand since I've imported from an existing ecore model.

Needless to say, I'm having issues figuring out where to even start with the new formatter API. (and I didn't know the last one either)

as i said: if you can live with the restriction simply ignore the warning. (and maybe follow https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=363685)

Thank you. Your response was so quick, I didn't even see it before I wrote my next post. You're fast!

The Discouraged access warnings can be eliminated by defining an explicit access rule on the org.eclipse.xtext.formatting2 package.
