[platform-team-dev] Internal ChangeSet API and Eclipse 3.2

[Mark Phippard <markp@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We are trying to add support for Outgoing ChangeSets in the Synchronize 
view within Subclipse.  We need to support this feature in Eclipse 3.1+. 
As you are well aware, this is all still internal API, even at 3.2.  Users 
do not really care, they want the feature and do not want to wait for some 
future version of Eclipse to get the feature.

We were hoping to provide something that worked in 3.1 and 3.2 and then, 
assuming there is a public API in the next release, we could jump to that 
version.

That being said the API has changed enough between 3.1 and 3.2 that this 
currently seems impossible without having different versions of Eclipse 
for each version.  Is there any chance of reinstating some of the 3.1 API, 
marking it deprecated, and perhaps having it internally use the new 3.2 
API?

In particular, these are the errors I am seeing with our working 3.1 code 
when trying to compile in 3.2:

The import 
org.eclipse.team.internal.core.subscribers.SubscriberChangeSetCollector 
cannot be resolved
The method add(IResource[]) in the type ActiveChangeSet is not applicable 
for the arguments
The method createSet(String, IFile[]) in the type ActiveChangeSetManager 
is not applicable for the arguments

Thanks

Mark
