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

Jared,  For proposed breaking API changes, please ensure that the PR has 
all details about the exact API change, the case/rationale for making it, 
and a draft item for the 3.1 Migration guide. Include any feedback from 
the community about potential use (or non-use). 

Please don't release changes until PMC has had time to review and approve.

[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
