[eclipse-dev] Re: ACTION REQUIRED: reduced deprecations


I also add to this note that from now on you will  no longer need org.eclipse.core.applicationrunner.

        Subject:        ACTION REQUIRED: reduced deprecations


In effort to reduce the number of deprecations and thus ease the porting effort, we have released a number of changes to the new runtime and compatibility layer.  For people who have not converted to the current API, no particular action is required.  You will just see a reduction in the number of deprecation warnings.

For people who converted their plugins to the current API, you will have to change again.  This amounts to reverting to the original (i.e., standard Eclipse) API. We apologize for the thrashing here but we believe the new story is substantially better going forward.

What you need to do:
- load the following from HEAD
        org.eclipse.core.runtime
        org.eclipse.core.runtime.compatibility
- if you are going to launch a runtime workspace you also need to ensure you have the following in your workspace as projects
        org.eclipse.osgi*
        org.eclipse.update.configurator
        org.eclipse.core.boot
- update you code to fix any compile errors
- runt/test/release

As far as we know few people have converted to the new API.  We will work with the people we know to ensure they are converted for tonights build.  If you need help or have problems in this area, please contact me or Pascal immediately.
