Re: [equinox-dev] New API method in ECF (org.eclipse.ecf.identity) since

[Scott Lewis <slewis@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Olivier,

This utility method was added as part of a bug fix to one of our 
provider bundles, and the committer didn't initially realize that the 6 
ECF bundles going into the platform integration build were now under API 
freeze.

When he realized that this method was added to a bundle under API freeze 
he removed the method and it's no longer present (in M7).  But it did 
get into the integration build, since it's done automatically and I 
didn't know about the change until after the integration build had occurred.

So this isn't deliberate...ECF has as a policy to freeze the API on 
these bundles at M6+0...in keeping with the platform.  It was simply an 
honest mistake.  My apologies for causing work for everyone.

LMK if I should do something more/other to resolve this.

Scott
