Re: [swtbot-dev] Drop support for 3.x stream starting from next version?

It makes sense.

Hi all,

So it is now clear that there are some issues with Eclipse 4.2: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=385527
Some patches were already contributed ( https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=381683#c2 ) but it seems like some of them break compatibility with 3.x stream. I am a bit pessimistic with the ability to support both 3.x and 4.2 at the same time (I'd be glad if someone could convince me of the contrary).
What about dropping support for 3.x starting from the next version (currently 2.0.6, but we should probably change that to 2.1.0 to highlight the breakage). So people using 3.x platform could still use 2.0.5, whereas people using Eclipse 4.2 would use 2.1.0.
We can also think, if necessary, of publishing a 2.0.6 versions compliant with 3.x in case of critical fix or major improvement that make us feel this deserves a build for 3.x too.

What do you think?
