[e4-dev] Raw notes from API call

[John Arthorne <John_Arthorne@xxxxxxxxxx>]

In two hours we went through the entire
Eclipse 4 API today and decided what to keep and what to remove/hide. I
will post some tidier notes a bit later, but here are the raw notes from
the call so everyone can start entering bugs, etc.

MWindow is in - could be used for dialogs

MInputPart needed ??

MPartDescriptor @noreference because
it may disappear in future

SharedArea missing from the list.

MBindingTable is good and needs to be
in API

MParameter is good

MMenuContribution, MToolBarContribution,
MTrimContribution - provisional

MOpaque* and MRendered* - @noreference
these are all to be deleted

MPopupMenu keep it

IContextFunction/ContextFunction. Change
method signature to add String key.

EModelService needs some things added
in M7. Add @noreference for getPartDescriptor

EPartService is fine

EBindingService @noreference

EContextService is fine except method
@noreference as described on wiki

ECommandService ok with changes on wiki..
add two @noref

EMenuService not API @noreference entire
class

IEventBroker should be API

of failed abstractions.
