[cdt-dev] API Usage Problem: method String.chars() ... is not defined

[Jonah Graham <jonah@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi folks,

If you are fully up to date with CDT there is an apparent API error in
CDT if using Eclipse 4.7 (Oxygen) M7 or RC1.

The method String.chars() referenced in
org.eclipse.cdt.internal.ui.buildconsole.BuildConsolePartitionerEditData.append(String,
IBuildConsoleStreamDecorator, ProblemMarkerInfo) is not defined in the
bundle's required execution environment: JavaSE-1.8
BuildConsolePartitionerEditData.java

in /org.eclipse.cdt.ui/src/org/eclipse/cdt/internal/ui/buildconsole line 127

This is not a real error as String does have a chars() method. A bug
has been raised against PDE: https://bugs.eclipse.org/517012

Thanks Marc-Andre for raising the bug.

Jonah
