Re: [platform-vcm-dev] Can the new Team API be used in Eclipse 1.0?

[James_Moody@xxxxxxx]

Good question.

-The decorators (org.eclipse.team.ui) use a mechanism which is new for 
2.0. The decorators (if they even compile without errors) will not do 
anything if used in 1.0.
-The validateEdit/validateSave API in org.eclipse.team.core is new core 
API for 2.0. The code will compile with errors if compiled against 1.0.
-Actions (see CVS for an example) which operate on Resources can be tagged 
as "adaptable=true" in the XML, which means they will show up anywhere 
where there is an object that adapts to IResource. This is how we get the 
popup actions to be present in the Packages view for example. This 
functionality is new in 2.0; for example, this means that the actions 
Configure Project and Deconfigure Project would not show up in the 
packages view.

I don't know of any other problems off the top of my head, but there 
certainly could be others. (I don't have 1.0 handy to try it with).
(If other team members know of other 2.0-specific calls or behaviours, 
feel free to list them here).

Hello,

I started writing a StarTeam Team plugin using the new Team API. However,
since WSAD (which is to be used within the company I work for) is based on
Eclipse 1.0, I wanted to know if the new Team API and my StarTeam plugin 
can
be used alongside the old VCM API. Is it possible, of does it also depend 
on
changed API's in the workbench (SWT, JFace, etc.)

Ringo
