RE: [platform-debug-dev] Custom debugger integration: flexiblehierarchy and asynch viewers


Thanks for the feedback.

Note that some of the provisional APIs have already moved to a public form in 3.3 M3 - for example debug context API, source display, and debug commands. So, there are binary compatibility issues for clients that use the 3.2 internals.

Judging from the response so far, as well as feedback from the DSDP meetings, debug plans to continue to evolve and improve the APIs even if that means having a second internal release. For 3.3 M4 (Dec 15th), we plan to migrate our tree viewers to use the new JFace based implementation. This will ensure the new implementation has sufficient testing before 3.3 is released. Stay tuned to bug 153500 for details (https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=153500).

Thanks,

Darin Wright
