Description Tod Creasey CLA 2002-06-03 15:45:47 EDT 
From Eclipse Corner

The wizard
org.eclipse.jdt.internal.ui.exampleprojects.ExampleProjectCreationWizard
subclasses org.eclipse.ui.wizards.newresource.BasicNewResourceWizard, but
there is a comment at the top of BasicNewResourceWizard that says:

    "* This class is not intended to be subclassed outside this package."

The BasicNewProjectResourceWizard also says it is not intended to be
subclassed.  Are these just 'programmer beware' warnings that these classes
will likely change or is there a better way of building wizards that are
similar to the new project wizard?
Comment 1 Nick Edgar CLA 2002-06-03 16:22:23 EDT 
I don't see any reason why we can't promote BasicNewResourceWizard to API.

However, its subclasses are specific to the Workbench and should not be API.
These should really be in an internal package.

Defer to post 2.0.

Reopened for investigation
Comment 3 Tod Creasey CLA 2002-10-23 16:24:00 EDT 
Will promote to API for 2.1 subject to approval by NE.
Comment 4 Tod Creasey CLA 2002-10-25 09:41:43 EDT 
This is public API already in 2.1
