Re: [udig-devel] Detaching a View Programatically

[Jesse Eichar <jesse.eichar@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Emily.

That message means that you are accessing private classes and when we
change eclipse versions it may stop working.  It is recommended that you
hide the view if possible rather than detach it.  I would rather not
have such code in the main uDig code base because of the danger it
represents over time.  If a client needs it it is totally ok to have it
in a non-udig plugin.

Not having any specifics about the project I cant say much more.
