Re: [eclipse-dev] Rich Client Platform UI changes to be released to HEAD after integration build



In an effort to smoothen the migration process, you will find in tomorrow's
I-build a migration wizard that will convert your plugin.xml/fragment.xml
files to become 3.0-compliant.
The wizard will:
  i. add the new mandatory processing instruction for 3.0-compliant
plug-ins, as described in the porting guide.
 ii. make necessary changes, if any, to the dependencies list of your
plug-in to reflect the restructuring of the Platform UI plug-ins and Help
plug-ins.
iii. make necessary changes, if any, to any extensions you might have that
are extending extension points whose ids have changed.
iv. optionally update your classpath.

The wizard can be found in the context menu of plugin.xml/fragment.xml
files/plug-in projects under
"PDE Tools -> Migrate to 3.0"

Further to the changes announced below, the Platform UI, Text, and Help
teams, as well as affected downstream teams, will be releasing changes to
HEAD after this week's integration build.
The goal is to have the Platform UI, Text and Help changes released to
HEAD by Wednesday afternoon, with downstream teams adapting to the changes
over the rest of the week.
We aim to have everything working again in the Eclipse SDK in time for
next week's integration build.

Subject
[eclipse-dev] API implications of Eclipse Rich Client Platform UI work







As outlined in the 3.0 plan,  the eclipse team firmly believes in
preserving API compatability. With this mindset the team has produced a
propsal that results in a good overall Eclipse solution while keeping most
API intact. There is a bugzilla report for this plan item and
documentation available on the UI team's home page.

The bugzilla report for this plan item is:

        http://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=36967


The summary of the proposed changes and porting guide are here:


http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/%7Echeckout%7E/platform-ui-home/rcp-proposal/generic_workbench_summary.html



http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/%7Echeckout%7E/platform-ui-home/rcp-proposal/generic_workbench_porting_guide.html




If you are interested in this work or are concerned about the proposed API
changes I encourage you to review the available information and send your
comments to the platform-ui-dev@xxxxxxxxxxx mailing list.
