Description Gabriel BARBIER CLA 2010-02-15 09:05:37 EST 
Hello,

In MoDisco project, we are using fields from org.eclipse.jdt.internal.compiler.impl.CompilerOptions
to indicate the version of jdk used.

This class is considered as internal, so I would like
to ask for its promotion as public. It is mainly
to avoid use of @SuppressWarnings("restriction") as 
required to join the Helios train.


Example of usage:
JavaConventions.validatePackageName(this.symbolicNameText.getText(),CompilerOptions.VERSION_1_6, CompilerOptions.VERSION_1_6);

Used by components:
- org.eclipse.gmt.modisco.workflow

Best regards
Gabriel

The same constants are available in the JavaCore class:

org.eclipse.jdt.core.JavaCore.VERSION_1_1
org.eclipse.jdt.core.JavaCore.VERSION_1_2
org.eclipse.jdt.core.JavaCore.VERSION_1_3
org.eclipse.jdt.core.JavaCore.VERSION_1_4
org.eclipse.jdt.core.JavaCore.VERSION_1_5
org.eclipse.jdt.core.JavaCore.VERSION_1_6
org.eclipse.jdt.core.JavaCore.VERSION_1_7
org.eclipse.jdt.core.JavaCore.VERSION_CLDC_1_1

These constants are API.

Closing as INVALID.
