Description Martin Oberhuber CLA 2007-02-02 07:31:42 EST 
As per
http://www.eclipse.org/org/councils/20070123PCMinutes.php
the RSE must not use other project's "internal" (discouraged) API.

This applies to the Platform and CDT. Discouraged access should be removed wherever possible. This may mean getting rid of some RSE extension points for actions and property pages where they just duplicate Platform concepts for convenience.

Consider a must-have for 2.0
Comment 2 Martin Oberhuber CLA 2007-02-07 09:56:23 EST 
Platform "internal" access can be found easily by applying the following filter
in the Problems view:
Severity="Warning", Description contains="required library"

On 7-Feb-2007, we have the following kinds of Platform "internal" access:
* Illegal re-use of text, labels etc. from base Eclipse --> Copy&Paste to RSE
* Illegal re-use of stuff from Editor, Compare and Preference Pages
* Illegal use of CDT GDBDebuggerPage (in RemoteCDT)

Dave - can you analyze the situation with Editor and Compare, whether you see chances to get rid of the Platform "internal" access? - For CDT, I'm writing to the cdt-dev list.
