[platform-ui-dev] API change in org.eclipse.ui.workbench (commands)

[Chris McLaren <Chris_McLaren@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I have just checked to org.eclipse.ui.workbench
head to 2 small API changes. These changes are expected to be important
post 3.0, when work is done to allow parameters to be passed to commands
and their handlers.

1. in IHandler: void execute(Object
parameter) has changed to Object execute(Map parameterValuesByName)
2. in ICommand: void execute(Object
parameter) has changed to Object execute(Map parameterValuesByName)

This may affect you if you are:
(in case 1) directly handling commands
using the new api. esp, to handle commands on dialogs. 
in this case, you will only have to
alter the method signature of your concrete IHandler instance and make
sure to return null. you should be ignoring the parameter.
(in case 2) programatically executing
a command. 
in this case, you should not have to
make a code change as you should be passing null as the parameter anyway.

Thanks,
Chris.
