[gmf-dev] [GMF - API CHANGE] Bugzilla 116490 LayoutService should be pub

[Steven Shaw <steveshaw@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Description:
I've made some changes to the LayoutService
to make some classes public in order to make our api consistant.  Currently
there is a DiagramUtil class that is a bit of dumping ground for general
diagram task (creation, layout, etc.).  It is more consistent and
intuitive to have these methods available on the associated Service for
that functionality.

Summary of changes: (Old api
is currently preserved in deprecated form)
- Move LayoutService in public namespace
(org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.diagram.ui.services.layout).
        -
added new layout methods from DiagramUtil and deprecated old ones (in DiagramUtil).
        -
nenamed layoutNodes to layoutLayoutNodes to indicate types passed into
List.
- Renamed AbstractLayoutProvider to
AbstractLayoutEditPartProvider 
- Added new abstract class AbstractLayoutNodeProvider
for providers that wish to work with notation objects only.
        -
renamed getViewsToSizesMap to getNodeToSizeMap (previously in AbstractLayoutProvider)
- Renamed ILayoutNodesOperation to ILayoutNodeOperation
- Renamed ILayoutNodesProvider to ILayoutNodeProvider
- Moved LayoutNodesOperation to internal
namespace

New API Availability: 
Now (in gmf-head)

Old API Removal: 
Friday, Dec 16th, 2005
