Description Martin Oberhuber CLA 2007-01-18 10:20:15 EST 
RSE APIs should be made smaller (less API, more internal) in order to make them easier to understand and maintain. Eliminate dead code. Clarify threading model.

* get rid of nested event loops (bug 160353)
* add asynchronous API (bug 166338)
* get rid of "convenience" calls when not necessary
* get rid of dynamicPopupMenuExtensions, popupMenus extension points - 
  use Platform commands, expression language
* propertyPages extension point - use Platform propertyPages?
* get rid of systemtype extension point -- use systemType instead
* get rid of ISubSystem.getProperties() and ISubSystem.setProperties() 
* Reduce the number of plugins (bug 142475)
  - get rid of performance logger plugin (bug

Also, support streams in IFileService (bug 162954)
Comment 2 Martin Oberhuber CLA 2007-05-30 06:50:20 EDT 
This has been the major work item for TM 2.0.
Lots of classes have been moved to "internal" packages, deprecated or removed. Methods have been re-organized and optimized, UI/Non-UI splitting has been improved.

More work may be necessary in the future, but TM 2.0 is a very big step forward.
See the dependent bugs for details.
