Hi,

Anyone know of a WTP 1.0 to 1.5 API/extension points migration guide ?

I'm currently struggling with porting from 1.0 XML handling to WTP 1.5.
I get no warning nor compile errors; but nothing is working ;(

So I have the feeling some extension point has changed name or behavior
so any tips appreciated ;)

so, I figured it out and it is *very* suttle!

I had the following before (worked in everything pre-1.5)

<content-type
base-type="org.eclipse.core.runtime.xml"
file-extensions="xml"
id="content-type.hbm.xml"
name="Hibernate Mapping Content-Type"
priority="normal">

id's can apparently not contain dot's (I remember some other issue with
the core platform regarding this)

so the following works:

<content-type
base-type="org.eclipse.core.runtime.xml"
file-extensions="xml"
id="hbmxmlsource"
name="Hibernate Mapping Content-Type"
priority="normal">

Can anyone tell me why ? And if it is so, why doesn't something complain
hard when a content-type id contains dot's ?

Max, there shouldn't be that much (famous last words :) but there are some
things
known issues listed in

http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/New_Help_for_Old_Friends

Let us know if we've forgotten something in that document, or if you have
other questions
on migration.

(To mention an "obvious" one, that may not be so obvious to eveyong ...
1.5 does require Eclipse 3.2,
one of the latest RC's would be good.)

Max, I don't think its just content type IDs, it should be true for any
extension ID.
For details, see https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=128866

Funny thing is ... this was the whole reason for the 'a' part of 3.2M5a.
And ... as part of the "workaround" was that the new namespace naming rules
should have an effect only if you update your plugin to say
<?eclipse version="3.2"?>

That is, ID's with dot's should still work if the PI at top of eclipse
plugin
still says <?eclipse version="3.2"?>

(And, BTW, the platform team would say the rule of "no dot's in ID names"
is not not new ... just a new
enforcement of them :)

So, if you did not use 3.2 in PI, that might be worth opening a new bug
related to bug 128866.
If you did use 3.2, then you were not only breaking original syntax rules
on IDs, but you
even asked for the new enforcement of them :)

I did not update any plugin.xml to 3.2.

Which i'm quite fine with; but they could be good sports and make the PDE
editor warn about them ;)
