[eclipse-dev] Support for : and \ characters in workspace paths


I have released some changes to IPath and IWorkspace to allow resources to be created on non-Windows platforms containing the colon (':') and backslash ('\') characters in their names.  For complete details on the proposal, see:

http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/%7Echeckout%7E/platform-core-home/documents/path_changes.html

I have put together a migration guide that describes what needs to be done for those who want to support such paths in their plugins:

Feel free to ask questions and report migration issues not covered in the guide to the platform-core-dev mailing list.
