[imp-dev] Re: PDBPlugin.getLanguageID()

[Jurgen Vinju <Jurgen.Vinju@xxxxxx>]

Hi Bob,

I seem to remember that I had an @Override annotation that complained heavily 
after I updated imp.runtime last week, so I removed the method assuming that 
somebody forgot. Possibly my update crossed an ongoing commit?

Cheers,

Jurgen

Hi Jurgen,

Not sure how you determined that getLanguageID() was dead (as stated in
the commit comment for v20821), but it wasn't. PluginBase.getLanguageID()
is abstract, so obviously subclasses *must* implement it.

This was part of a recent change to PluginBase that turned many copies of
preference-related static code in PluginBase's subclasses (that differed only
in the particular language ID used) into a single instance method in the base
class and one tiny getter - getLanguageID() - in the subclasses.

Make sense?
