[platform-debug-dev] Proposed API change on ILaunchManager

Bug 86725 - Environment vars on windows: lowercase/uppercase <https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=86725>

To address this bug report, we're proposing a potentially breaking API change to ILaunchManager#getNativeEnvironment(). This method currently specifies that the keys of the returned hashmap are all uppercased on Win32. The proposed change is to remove this specification (and the associated behavior), maintaining the case of the keys in the returned hashmap.

We don't believe anyone else is currently using this API, so we expect that this API change will affect no one but ourselves. This API exists primarily so that the Debug UI plugin's EnvironmentTab can access the native environment.

If anyone has a product that relies on the case of the keys returned from ILaunchManager#getNativeEnvironment(), please let us know.

Thanks,
- Jared
