Re: [platform-ui-dev] Questions about future IActionFilter now that XML expressions are available
|
Thank you very much for the information, Doug. To follow on up on the item below, will "org.eclipse.core.expressions" be available in action contributions in the 3.0 timeframe. I would think that is where the broadest applicabililty exists. Cheers.

The older UI-mechanism is still being used to evaluate these expressions. We
have not moved to "org.eclipse.core.expressions". Whenever we do move, the
move should hopefully be seamless to plug-in developers. That is, all old
functionality will work as expected, and some new functionality will be
provided.
