[gmf-dev] [GMF - API CHANGE] Bugzilla [114587] Part I: Deprecation of Ab

[Eliza Tworkowska <etworkow@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Description


The functionality provided by AbstractUIResourceManager
is already provided by Eclipse in AbstractUIPlugin.  As part of Bugzilla
[114587] I will be deprecating AbstractUIResourceManager.  This Bugzilla
will be delivered in three parts.

Part I: Changes required for unmanaged images (images that are not cached)

Summary of changes:
Deprecated  (will delete shortly
as those methods don't seem to be used anywhere):
(a) AbstractUIResourceManager#createCachedImageDescriptor(String)

(b) AbstractUIResourceManager#createCursor(String,
String)
(c) AbstractUIResourceManager#getFont(String)
(d) AbstractUIResourceManager#createImageURL

Deprecated (will remove after clients
migrate):
(e) AbstractUIResourceManager#createImageDescriptor(String)
(f)  AbstractUIResourceManager#createImage(String)

New API Availability
Eclipse API is available in 3.x

Old API Removal
Wednesday, November 16, 2005, unless teams request more time to migrate

Tracking
