[e4-dev] E4 developers: Changes to the IEclipseContext and existing laun

[Oleg Besedin <obesedin@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I changed IEclipseContext to use annotation
described by the JSR 330. As a result:

• a new bundle "javax.inject" needs to be added to existing workspaces, and
• existing launch configurations might get out of synch and will need to be cleared

Everybody with E4/UI bundles checked
out: 

There is a new Orbit bundle "javax.inject"
that needs to be added to existing workspaces. The UI psf file has been
updated, so this can be done by importing "e4.ui.psf". 


If you encounter strange launch problems
("no application ID found", "OSGi was unable to resolve
constraints"):

On my computer I had to clear launch
configurations for both demos. Open the launch configuration, switch to
the "Configuration" tab, and select "Clear the configuration
area before launching". 
 

The annotation mapping is (old ->
new):


[org.eclipse.e4.core.services.annotations]
       ->        [
javax.inject]
@Inject        
               
               
->        @Inject
@In          
               
              ->
        @Inject
@Named          
               
              ->
        @Named

@Inject#optional(), @In#optional()  
              ->
       org.eclipse.e4.core.services.annotations.Optional


Few more details are in the https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=293357
.

Be sure to let me know if you encounter
any problems.
