RE: [cdt-debug-dev] List of Plan items

John,
 
I don't know if my answers will satisfy you, but I'll try. 
1. If you need IAdaptable you can add it to your implementation and check if your object is instance of IAdaptable.
2. Regarding the history, the idea was to create a pure (non Eclipse) interface. Eclipse wasn't very stable at that time and the Debug API had just changed very seriously (Eclipse 1.0 -> 2.0).
 
Regards,
Mikhail

Hm. I'd like to stop for a second and discuss this point. Is it true that we should be OK with breaking CDI compatibility in 4.0? We're working on various features (which we will contribute for 4.0) where we go out of the way to not break compatibility, by, e.g., introducing an ICDIThread2. If we're looking at breaking compatibility anyway, then there's no point in use going this messier route.

The other thing, is that we did not want to bring org.eclipse.* namespace in
to the interface so we could;

I'm with Pawel--in need of a history lesson. Why is this?
