Re: [dali-dev] Status of API changes for Keppler ?
|
Max,
All the provisional API changes should be well documented at:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/New_Help_for_Old_Friends_VIII. If they are not,
then please notify us here on the list or via bugzilla.
The M4 changes were announced in summary via the Dali weekly status
report. [1] M5 has not yet completed for us, so I hadn't yet announced
any changes for it, though I wouldn't be surprised if the changes were
already documented in the link above.
There are some additional API changes coming to our PersistentType
hierarchy in order to support JPA 2.1 Converters in M6 (an unfortunate
but necessary change). This should be the bulk of the changes for M6.
I do not expect any provisional API changes past M6.
I would expect much less in the way of changes beyond Kepler. As
always, any contributions/assistance are welcome. It may also help to
think of these changes as improvements to the performance,
functionality, reliability, and maintainability of your product's code
base. : ) There's a significant upside associated with the cost.

Heya,
We (JBoss Tools team) are getting a bit frustrated of having to refactor the usage of Eclipse Dali API's; First pre M4, then M4 and now things have changed again in M5 with on average resulting in ~300 compiler errors in our Hibernate persistence provider.
I've tried follow the mailing list here but I haven't see any mails/info/updates about these changes and the update to Keppler docs does not outline the latest changes either.
We would like to release a version of the Hibernate tools support in the following weeks based on M5 but is just wondering if we will have to go through similar ordeal in M6 and RC1 timeframes too ?
(note, last round seem to be affecting mainly the jpt.ui areas)
Last time
Would be great if you could give just a hint of what is coming up so we can figure out if we should continue doing extensions for Dali or just keep it to the bare minimum and just disable most integration for Keppler.
Thanks for letting us know!
