Out of curiosity, does anybody per chance know why WTP is explicitly
restricted to Eclipse versions 3.2 up to but not including 3.3.0? (see
also my comments on the bug). That's not the update site, but WTP
itself, I think.

This is kinda weird. I can probably understand your concern from the
QA and support point of view. But from usability point of view, why
don't allow users to deal with this?
So, if somebody would want to run on unsupported configuration he on
his own and this is ok. You'll get early notifications/bug reports about
incompatibilities and can deal with them.
That would save some work to WTP and eliminate need in some
intermediate releases when platform API in fact haven't changed...

Eugene

It's not actually my opinion. My personal opinion is earlier in that

ahead of knowing what the limit should really be). I.e., I mostly agree
with you. However, Tim does raise a good point that I hadn't
considered, i.e., internal implementations are much more likely to change...

Tim would definitely know better what part of the internal platform
API WTP depends on. What I don't understand is his the assumption that
internal API will definetely change.
---
Unfortunately, WTP has several places where we rely on internal (not
API) methods from the base…so in general, “loose” numbers really are
wrong, because the base can and does change those methods and “breaks”
WTP. Ultimately of course the answer is to eliminate non-API use and
then the upper bound could in principle be left unset, but it’s hard to
see a path to that point for a project as broad as WTP, where there’s
always some area that is always at the very edge of platform services.
---
I still think that users should have option to deal with this on
their own.
For example, somebody can create a fragment plugin that would "patch"
wtp stuff for changed internal API. That patch would of course have
stronger requirements for dependencies, but it only has to include wtp
classes that are affected by such change, so users won't have to
reinstall the whole wtp.
Note that this patch feature is in fact supported by platform update
manager and allows to distribute these patches from regular update sites.

Eugene

Thanks Ed for the link, that's an interesting discussion.
What about allowing the adventurous user to ignore version
incompatibilites, as Ed Burnette suggeste, maybe on a per-feature basis?
There is e.g. https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=78381 but
I'm not sure whether Platform/Update is the right place for this one
(and it had been ignored so far).
What about showing a yellow exclamation mark next to such a feature in
the "Product Configuration" window?
Regards,
J

Hi Ed,
as I don't know of any other enhancement request in the bugzilla
proposing this flying without safety harness, I'd suggest anyone
interested to cast their votes on the bug
<https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=78381>. If it had e.g.
the votes of /the /Eds, maybe something is going to happen here ;-)
I guess it's a question of the OSGI implementation, so I wonder whether
Platform/Update is the right place for the enhancement request?
Regards,
J
