Hi Chris,
do you have any plans to fix the issue? 
Markus.

	I had more or less assumed based on past discussions (e.g. at
the Summit) that we were planning on breaking API to get the build
system back to an acceptable state. Perhaps I assumed too much.
	
	I should have fixed the API errors though. Seems I forgot to
setup my baseline again after my hard drive crashed in December. I take
responsibility for that.

[cdt-dev] ProjectDescription Storage: It should be possible to extend /

	Hi,
	I have reopend the bug 
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=252966
<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.
