Description Markus Keller

2014-05-22 18:45:54 EDT

Add an internal annotation for declarations that need to work with all AST levels, e.g. @AllAstLevels

Most of JDT UI only uses the latest AST level from org.eclipse.jdt.internal.ui.javaeditor.ASTProvider.SHARED_AST_LEVEL. But we have a few APIs that take an AST or ASTNode, and those need to support older levels as well.

See e.g. bug 435571 and the comment above StubUtility2#createConstructorStub(..).

To find potentially affected entry points, select API packages and search for type "org.eclipse.jdt.core.dom.*" in match locations "Method return types" and "Method parameter types".
