We are in the process of
doing integration testing with WTP
3.0.4 release candidate build and have found something rather
disturbing. It
appears that the JSDT facet that was only partially implemented for
3.0, but
was present in 3.0, 3.0.1, 3.0.2 and 3.0.3 has gone missing. This seems
like a
pretty drastic change to make in a service release. Was this
intentional?
The current result is
that the log file is flooded with
messages about the missing JSDT facet (actually the message text is
misleading,
but the problem is indeed the missing facet). The problem is that a
number of
server tools plugins still reference it. There is also the question of
impact
on users who have already installed this facet. They will be left with
errors
in their project upon upgrading to 3.0.4 as their metadata will
reference the
missing facet.
I understand that the
development on the JSDT facet hasn’t
gone anywhere and perhaps it should be removed, but I wonder if this is
too
drastic of a step to take a service release. Maybe this facet should be
restored in 3.0.4 (even if it doesn’t do anything useful) and this
issue
can be properly sorted out in 3.1?
