Re: [wtp-dev] Migration to Eclipse based Tabbed Properties


To be clear ... the plan is to leave in until M6 (to allow time for migration), but to remove after M6 ... UNLESS an adopter asks us to leave it in. If someone needs it for some sort of binary compatibility, I think that's fine, But ... they will have to live with it "as is", we can't support it, nor guarantee it would really work as expected (with the base one present also). Since this has been announced and the plan since even before 0.7, it should not catch anyone by surprise and I'm sure most adopters have planned for it.

If adopters do not migrate, and want us to leave in the old one, then their "non-API-non-platform" debt will grow, and while not technically "our problem" ... it is indirectly, as we need to make progress on "being a better platform" or there will continue to be an increasing probability of problems when users install plugins from many sources.

Re: [wtp-dev] Migration to Eclipse based Tabbed Properties






I agree we should keep the old plugin there.  Keith, I assume there's no co-existance issues between the old and new Tabbed Properties?


thanks

In our effort to not break adopters it may be better to simply deprecate the WST plug-in but still include it in WTP 1.5. Are you sure no adopters are using this plug-in?

[wtp-dev] Migration to Eclipse based Tabbed Properties










The org.eclipse.wst.common.ui.properties plugin (for tabbed properties) has been moved to the eclipse base M5.


For those clients using this plugin, please migrate to the new plugin org.eclipse.ui.views.properties.  The migration document, courtesy of Anthony, can be found in bug 109878.


https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=109878

The plan is for clients to migrate before WTP M6.  (See https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=125745).   The WST plugin will be marked deprecated for now, and will be removed after M6..

[wtp-dev] Moving to new pre-M5 build: Part 1












In case anyone hasn't seen posts on other dev lists, now that we are moving up to a new pre-M5 version of our Eclipse Project pre-req,
we are supposed to move up to a pre-M5 version of the development environment. As far as  I know, the only consequence of not doing this
is that getPlugionDescriptor() will show up as a compile error. (We should still get rid of our use of that deprecated method, but, it should be
a warning, not an error). I've been using  I20060208-0848 and its seems basically ok. This is the same version we are using in our builds.

Don't forget the corresponding "release engineering" tool.
