[eclipse-dev] Intended API change - moving IProductPreferencesService in

[Oleg Besedin <obesedin@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Please ignore this message unless you
use the org.eclipse.core.runtime.preferences.IProductPreferencesService
interface from the org.eclipse.equinox.preferences
plugin.

As a part of the runtime refactoring
done in M4 we added the interface IProductPreferencesService to exchange
information between runtime plugins. The interface was added in the public
package org.eclipse.core.runtime.preferences.
In hindsight, it should have been added as an internal interface.

At this point we would like to move
it into an internal package. IProductPreferencesService
was added in M4 and was never advertised; however, if you use this interface
please let me know ASAP so that we can work on some alternative.

For details, please refer to https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=132666.

Sincerely,
Oleg Besedin
