[gmf-dev] [GMF - API CHANGE] Bugzilla 113812: Deprecating DiagramResourc

[Cherie Mahoney <cmahoney@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Description:
Deprecating org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.diagram.ui.l10n.DiagramResourceManager.
 This is in conjunction with the changes made to the AbstractUIResourceManager
deprecations.  Resources will be accessed more similar to how it is
in other Eclipse code.

New API Availability: 
This afternoon in the GMF repository.

Old API Removal: 
Dec. 26, 2005, unless clients request more time.

Tracking:                  
      
Bugzilla 113812

Clients Taken Care of:         
GMF

Other Clients' Action: 
Migrate all references to DiagramResourceManager as indicated below:

getI18NString("a.b.c"); getString("a.b.c");	DiagramUIMessages.a_b_c * If the string you want is no longer available here (I cleaned up a few that weren't used in the diagram layer), find it in the messages.properties file and copy it to your plugin.
getImage(DiagramResourceManager.THE_IMAGE); createImage(DiagramResourceManager.THE_IMAGE); getImage(DiagramResourceManager.THE_IMAGE); createImageDescriptor(DiagramResourceManager.THE_IMAGE);	Use org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.diagram.ui.l10n.SharedImages: Only the following images are now public (based on what was used in Aurora): SharedImages.get(SharedImages.IMG_ERROR) SharedImages.get(SharedImages.IMG_TEXT) SharedImages.get(SharedImages.IMG_NOTE) Only the following image descriptors are now public (based on what was used in Aurora): SharedImages.DESC_ERROR SharedImages.DESC_TEXT SharedImages.DESC_NOTE SharedImages.DESC_NOTE_ATTACHMENT If the image you want is not available, copy the icon to your plugin and manage it yourself, or if you think it should be available publicly in the diagram layer, let me know.
getFont()	Now internal.  No external clients that I am aware of.
getColor(x)	org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.diagram.ui.l10n.DiagramColorRegistry.getColor(x)

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks, 
Cherie
