Description Oleg Besedin CLA 2005-03-07 16:22:27 EST 
In the current version of CDT (3.0) the getCElement() method is removed from 
ITypeInfo, TypeInfo (package org.eclipse.cdt.core.browser).

Is there a reason for this removal? This method is used the application I work 
on. If it need to be removed, what is the alternative to use?

I believe this was done to remove some dependencies between ITypeInfo and
ICElement.  You can use AllTypesCache.getElementForType() for the same purpose.

For CDT 3.0, we are planning to do some cleanup/optimizations in the type cache.
This will likely involve API changes as well.  If you have any suggestions,
please create a change-request so we can be sure to include them.
