Re: [eclipse-pmc] Add back an old method from 3.3 (detected as an API addition since 3.4M6a)

ok, I admit that adding it with an empty body is not the best answer for 
existing callers if any.
So the best answer would be to remove it completely and leave the version 
of JDT/Core as 3.4 with an entry in the porting guide. I don't like the 
consequence of removing it to increase the version of JDT/Core to 4.0.

So would you approve this solution ?

This brings up an interesting discussion about how religiously we have to 
adhere to our API conventions. Somehow adding this method back, just to 
make the API tool happy, seems odd (particularly, since it doesn't work 
any more). Should we not just add an entry to the porting guide instead?
