[e4-dev] UIEvents.buildTopics() deprecated

[Dean Roberts <Dean_Roberts@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi folks,

As was discussed on this email list
a few months ago, and in https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=363961,
we have made some changes to the way we manage and subscribe to UIEvents
in Eclipse 4.

These changes make the code used to
subscribe to UI Events much simpler.  Although the code we changed
was never API, there may have been people using the methods.  For
this reason we have deprecated the methods and constants in M4 and will
delete them shortly before building M5.

If you are using UIEvents.buildTopic()
methods or any of the UIEvents TOPIC constants, these changes will effect.
you.

A new description of the Eclipse 4 Event
model can be found here: http://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse4/RCP/Event_Model
A description of what has changed and
what you might need to fix in your code for M5 is here: http://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse4/UI/Event/Migration

As always we are happy to discuss this
topic (or any other topic) on the mailing list if people have any questions,
concerns or ideas.

Thanks.
