| Re: [swtbot-dev] Drop support for 3.x stream starting from next version? |
|
master is now version 2.1.0. It has
several failures due to incompatibility with Eclipse 4.2 (
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=378338 and
https://hudson.eclipse.org/hudson/view/SWTBot/job/swtbot-tycho-e4.2/lastCompletedBuild/testReport/
).
I'm trying to figure out the right way to fix some e4 related issue. Now that there is a modeled workbench and a renderer, SWTBot will probably be only compatible with one single renderer. So the "Eclipse finder" tends to become "SWT Default Renderer Finder". I don't know how much people will rewrite their own renderers, but I guess supporting the Default Renderer will be fine in 90% cases. Also, Eclipse 4.2 modeled workbench and renderers has an extensibility mechanism that allow people to introduce their new workbench concepts in model and extend the renderer to support them. This will probably imply the necessity for an extensibility mechanism for SWTBot. But I think that is not immediate need, so it will be part of a later release. WDYT? |
