[wtp-dev] Server Tools API changes

[Timothy Deboer <deboer@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Due to other changes within WTP, I have
made two API changes related to cleanup and simplification in server tools:

1) Flexible project support for multiple
modules within a single project was removed a few weeks ago. One of the
server utility methods was created specifically to support this case and
can revert back to it's earlier form. The method:
       List ServerUtil.getModules(IProject)
   will be changed to:
       IModule ServerUtil.getModule(IProject)
This change may affect any user of the
server tools client API.

2) To support facets the J2EE team has
defined new ids and versions for each of the J2EE modules. Although they
are not used interchangably, these do not match the module type ids used
for J2EE modules in server tools. To avoid confusion and allow for future
merging, all of the module type ids have been changed to match the ids
used by J2EE. In many cases, the version ids have changed as well to match
the module version instead of the J2EE version. For example, 'j2ee.web
1.2' has changed to 'jst.web 2.2'.
This change will affect the J2EE team
and server adapter providers.

Please see 113621 for further details
or to comment on this change. I have already discussed this change with
the two major teams affected (J2EE and Web Services). The changes are available
in HEAD and I plan to release these changes to the build tomorrow afternoon.

Thanks,
