Re: [platform-core-dev] How to handle IFileModificationValidator depreca

[Michael Valenta <Michael_Valenta@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Jerome,

Thanks for pointing this out. I have
logged bug https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=176992 to track
this issue. Basically, we will need to deprecate this method and add a
new one that returns the new type. Unfortunately, we need to come up with
anothe method name. Any ideas for the new method nam,e are welcome.

The other option is to not deprecate
the old interface but we really feel that we need to signal to clients
that the API has changed.

Michael

Subject	[platform-core-dev] How to handle IFileModificationValidator        deprecation ?

In build I20070306-1200, IFileModificationValidator
has been deprecated.
However the RepositoryProvider#getFileModificationValidator() still returns
an IFileModificationValidator.
Thus a subclass of RepositoryProvider has to override this method returning
a deprecated type. As a consequence this method is flagged with a warning
saying that a
deprecated type is being used.

How is a repository provider now supposed to provide a file modification
validator ?
