Re: [platform-dev] Recompiling Mac's native launcher

[Lars Vogel <lars.vogel@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Mario,

I don't know about the Mac native launcher question but you should be
able to run your 3.x application on a 4.x runtime without too many
changes. Most of the Eclipse IDE plug-ins are still based on 3.x API
and they run fine.

Best regards, Lars
