Sounds like a great idea to me.

Darin, what would have to be done to set this up?

Helios M6 is coming up.  Perhaps we can do an API usage scan on the entire
Helios repo to help with this kind of decision? We had such a discussion
this morning in the Equinox call.

      I wonder if this is getting wide enough visibility. Just because
      there are no SDK uses, doesn't mean that no on else in the community

      An API deletion after the freeze is a serious thing, and it needs
      proper scrutiny.

      McQ.

 Subject:     anymore                                                      
                                                                           







      GOALS/BENEFITS:

      org.eclipse.core.filesystem.IFileInfoFilter was introduced at the
      beginning
      of Resource Filter API work.
      Later it was left on purpose despite it is not referenced by any
      core.filesystem or core.resources facility.
      The idea was that this could be a common interface for FileInfo
      filters,
      however since we don't have consumers of this API,
      we should not introduce this API in 3.6.

      I wanted to remove the code during the M6 milestone week,
      but have held it till now to avoid problems with M6 candidate builds.

      There are no users/references of it inside the SDK.

      ASSOCIATED BUGS:
      https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=305653

      RISKS:
      None since it is not used.

      PERFORMANCE IMPACT:
      None.

      Let me know if you have any questions.
