The Javadoc lies ;-). The backwards compatibility code is still working.

I'm fine marking it for deletion.

Comment 3 Dani Megert 2014-10-23 05:21:31 EDT

Note that you must list/mark all affected deletions, e.g. org.eclipse.ui.help.WorkbenchHelp will also go away as a consequence.

.

Comment 7 Dani Megert 2015-05-27 11:21:45 EDT

The deletion date (after 2016) was wrong. We keep it for the next two releases. Fixed this to be 2017.

If you really want to remove things, you have to follow
https://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse/API_Central/API_Removal_Process

None of the API is currently marked for deletion in the @deprecated message and with @no* tags.

Please stop this time waste and open new bugs.

This was marked for deletion before the process changed.

Are you really so ignorant? Opening a new bug wastes even more time and makes the process even less understandable, but here you are: bug 495048.

Wrong. https://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php?title=Eclipse%2FAPI_Central%2FAPI_Removal_Process&type=revision&diff=392223&oldid=201263

Comment 11 Dani Megert 2016-05-31 12:58:42 EDT

Lars, two simple ways to fix this:
1. Postpone deletion
2. Add a comment to IContextComputer

My comment was unnecessary harsh, sorry for that. Thanks for watching out. I was only concerned that you would now reopen all old bugs, e.g. the 2.0 comp removal bunch and the like.

And to DialogPageContextComputer, ViewContextComputer, WorkbenchHelp

Should be done. WorkbenchHelp was handled by Bug 442959
