Description Olivier Thomann CLA 2008-04-29 22:09:20 EDT 
When converting JDT/Core to API tools, a API breakage was detected by the tooling because a public method (tagged as internal) has been removed between 3.3 and 3.4.
In order to get rid of this error, that method has been added back with an empty body and the appropriate tagging (@noreference and @deprecated).

This change is detected by the API freeze check.
Comment 1 Philipe Mulet CLA 2008-04-29 22:16:49 EDT 
Adding the method back to be 3.3 compatible feels right to me.
Comment 2 Olivier Thomann CLA 2008-04-30 09:24:41 EDT 
Fixed and exclude list updated.
Comment 3 Olivier Thomann CLA 2008-05-02 11:50:37 EDT 
Verified. Even this might be revisited post M7.
