[ice-dev] Fwd: [cross-project-issues-dev] Unannounced Changes Have Unfor

[Jay Jay Billings <jayjaybillings@xxxxxxxxx>]

FYI.

I can't find TableTreeViewer in our source code, but please let me know if you do. Once upon a time we used it, but I remember removing it.

Either way, we should not add it between now and the future release of Neon because it has been deleted.

Hi,

It was brought to my attention that org.eclipse.jface.viewers.TableTreeViewer has been deleted.  Yes, I know it's deprecated, but nevertheless it was once API before being deprecated so deleting it is a breaking change.  I don't recall there being an announcement to begin deleting arbitrary deprecated API.

In any case, I can't necessarily commit to making the necessary changes.  As such I can't commit to contributing EMF Core to Neon.

I would suggest reconsidering the strategy of breaking APIs and most certainly suggest any such actions ought to be announced and discussed before such actions are taken.

Regards,
Ed
