| [e4-dev] Running the e4 compatibility layer... |
Hi all, I just finished updating the compatibility layer wiki page for 1.0M3. http://wiki.eclipse.org/E4/UI/Running_the_compatibility_demo This email is more interesting than my last one since instead of testing, you can show views instead! I just typed it up as I went through the process but I may have missed some steps along the way. Please make additions/changes to the page or send an email to the list if you get stuck. As mentioned on the wiki page, most views will fail to show render properly. Shades are recommended to protect your eyes from the barrage of red text in the form of UnsupportedOperationExceptions in your console. The projects in question are fast-moving and we'll be tackling individual UOEs as e4 variants of the API has matured. Here are some bugs of interest... Evolution of the org.eclipse.ui.* extension points https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=296739 Implement enough compatibility to bring up a simple view https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=298671 [UI] clean up errors in compatibility workbench https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=299385 provide tweaklet in o.e.ui.tests to allow e4 compat to run the tests https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=299426 PS: N&N entry for the compatibility layer tomorrow John, promise.
