+1, No need to keep unmaintained code around.

Thanks, Andrey for taking care of this.

Hi all,

Due the lack of resources for supporting the "new" JDT index with appropriate quality, JDT plans to hide & disable "new" JDT index.

If nobody steps in, in two weeks from now we will remove the preference from UI which allows to enable it and automatically disable the preference if it was enabled.
As a consequence, new users will be unable to turn the new index "on" and existing users will automatically use the old index if they switched before to the new one.

See discussion on bug https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=544898 and also linked issues with the new index for which we need help / lack resources.

Here is the Wiki of the "new" index: https://wiki.eclipse.org/JDT_Core_Index_Programmer_Guide for those who wants to contribute.
Attached screenshot shows the current preference (disabled by default).

Kind regards,
Andrey Loskutov
