Re: [eclipse-pmc] Add back an old method from 3.3 (detected as an API ad

[Jerome Lanneluc <jerome_lanneluc@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm not sure why this was brought to
the PMC. The method is not API since it is clearly stated that it should
not be referenced in 3.3. Adding it back is just a technical detail to
make the API tooling happy.

This brings up an interesting discussion about how religiously
we have to adhere to our API conventions. Somehow adding this method back,
just to make the API tool happy, seems odd (particularly, since it doesn't
work any more). Should we not just add an entry to the porting guide instead?

Subject	[eclipse-pmc] Add back an old method from 3.3 (detected as an API addition since 3.4M6a)

GOALS/BENEFITS:
- When converting JDT/Core to API tools, a method tagged as internal in
an 
API class (org.eclipse.jdt.core.dom.AST) has been removed.
The tooling detected it. To correct the situation, the old method has been
added back tagged with @noreference and @deprecated and an empty body.
This is now detected by the API freeze check.

AFFECTED BUGS:
- https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=229526

RISKS:
- None. This method is not used. This comes back to the method signature
that we had in 3.3.

PERFORMANCE IMPACTS:
- None.

Cordialement/Regards,

Frédéric
