Re: [platform-ui-dev] M5 JFace dependencies

[Nick_Edgar@xxxxxxxxxx]

Ron,

JFace was dependent on org.eclipse.runtime in 2.0.  We tried removing that dependency in 2.1 by moving any JFace classes that made reference to o.e.r up into the workbench plug-ins as extensions (i.e. keeping the same package names as before).  But the net effect of this was to move many of the useful bits of JFace out of the JFace plugin, defeating the purpose.  
We have backed out of this attempt.

If you want to use JFace standalone, you will need to copy the relevant classes from o.e.r.

I asked this on the newsgroup, but it occurred to me that this might be a
better place to ask (assuming this is the right mailing list for JFace).

Using JFace from M5 now requires the boot.jar from o.e.core.boot.  I thought
JFace was broken out into its own jar so there wouldn't be any unnecessary
dependencies on other parts of Eclipse.  Was this dependency unintentional
or by design?  What are the plans (if any) for removing these dependencies?

Ron
