Compile dependencies are hard to maintain. Eg another recently
introduced change upgrades to a new Rhino version from a recent eclipse
orbit repo. While the compile against older platforms does not work,
installation and execution in older eclipse versions is expected to
work.

We currently do not have explicit tests for this. Interestingly I
started to work on this topic just today :)

So if you like you might re-add the removed method, but checking build
dependencies for multiple older versions is almost impossible to
maintain for verify builds.
