Hi,

I need to migrate an Eclipse Platform built on Eclipse 3.3 to 3.8. The Platform uses the LTK/JDT internal refactoring APIs.

One of the classes, org.eclipse.jdt.internal.corext.refactoring.base.JDTChange from 3.3 seems to have been removed/moved to other package.

I see the similar class at org.eclipse.wst.jsdt.internal.corext.refactoring.base.JDTChange

Kindly let me know whether old APIs were refactored and migrated to the above package?

Or is there any other package which is still under the same API?

It would be great if someone can point me to a detailed list of API changes for migration specific to LTK/JDT.

Thank you in advance.

Well, I realize, both classes extend the same abstract class, so this should be the correct API to migrate. But still, would like to know if someone has more information on this as the new class is under wst.jsdt.

Thanks.

My guess is that the wst.jsdt class is just a stale copy from the original, intended only for JavaScript, not Java.
I personally don't know about the evolution of this internal "API", but have you tried identifying the commit in git that (re)moved this class?
Here's a perfect starting point:
