Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] New PDE error reporting in 4.2m4

[Eric Moffatt <emoffatt@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Martin, this may be caused by new PDE
tooling, not 4.2...what was the environment you were using before the switch
?

Do you get the same errors when using
3.8M4 ? 

Note that we only modify the org.eclipse.ui.workbench
bundle (effectively) so there should be no way for us to introduce compile
errors unless you are down-casting and calling internal methods.

Let be know what you discover, I'll
try to get some more input from Curtis Windatt (he's on my buddy list now..;-)
and post anything I find here...

Hi all,
 
Updating to 4.2m4 as my SDK for development,
I’m finding myself swamped with tons of new errors such that I can’t
compile my code any more.
 
I do see some value in reporting issues
such as version constraints in require-bundle, but …
-          Some
messages do not seem appropriate to report as errors (eg exporting an “internal”
package with x-friends should not require specifying a version with the
package; or, adding additional files to the source build should not be
an error).
-          And
it should be easier to turn them from “error” to “warning” (which Preference
Page item corresponds to what error?)
 
The effort needed before I can compile
my code which has been running fine for years seems not acceptable for
me.
For instance, I’d expect a quickfix “convert
this error into a warning” with each of the new reports introduced.
 
Is this already discussed in a bug anywhere
?
What are other projects doing ?
 
Thanks,
Martin_______________________________________________
