["Schorn, Markus" <Markus.Schorn@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I have reopend the bug https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=252966 because the patch

breaks API in a non-compatible way. For those who use the API-tooling this is a big annoyance,

because you get to see all the errors and it is hard to use the tooling to check your own stuff.

 

Either the breakage needs to be fixed, or the plugin version has to be incremented and then the

breakage has to be documented. (I would actually expect a documentation about breaking API plus a

discussion before the checkin).

 

Furthermore the patch is large enough, such that the IP Policy requires aproval from the Eclipse Member Organisation. We do not have the right to violate the Eclipse rules.

 

Markus.
