Description Andreas Sewe CLA 2016-02-05 04:09:26 EST
Hi,

when sanity checking all views of my Neon M5 installation as part of testing the Eclipse IDE for Java Developers EPP package, I stumbled upon the "Classic Search" view. Is this still needed? (I have been using Eclipse for year, as never seen it before.)

AFAICT, I can't even start a search whose results will be displayed there instead of in the modern "Search" view. In particular, the "Search" button in the "Classic Search" view *itself* starts a search whose results are shown in the "Search" view.

All old plug-ins that offer search and did not migrate would stop working.

Fair enough. AFAICT, it has been deprecated since 3.0, so I was just wondering if there were any plans to remove it in the future. Apparently not.

It's time to reconsider this IMHO.

+1
Comment 5 Alexander Kurtakov CLA 2021-10-04 16:06:40 EDT
As this has been deprecated for "software ages" I'm going to remove for 4.22 M2.

I have no idea what that is and if that is used by anyone, but please announce this on cross project list, with info what exactly is removed (API, view id, possible extension points etc). The people should know where to look for possible breakage.
