[gmf-dev] [GMF - API CHANGE] Deprecation of AbstractResourceManager and

[Eliza Tworkowska <etworkow@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Description
1. Deprecated AbstractResourceManager.
The functionality provided by AbstractResourceManager
will be replaced by the new Eclipse 3.1 plug-in message bundles.  The
methods from AbstractResourceManager
are used to access or format String and those methods no longer necessary.

2. Deprecated XToolsPlugin#getResourceManager().
There will be no need for a plug-in
to have a ResourceManager
class as the String messages will be accessed using the new Eclipse 3.1
plug-in messages bundles so this class will become obsolete.

3. Removed “abstract”
modifier from XToolsPlugin#getResourceManager().
 

4. Removed “abstract” modifier
from XToolsPlugin.
