Re: [tigerstripe-dev] Plugin migration from version 2.2.4 to latest

Hi Richard,

Thanks for the reply.
I was not able to focus much on this activity last week.

I could able to correct some more issues with the tips you have provided.
Here are couple of quick questions.

Can you please tell me if IArtifact class is.still available. Even the "Advanced Plugin tutorial" is referring it. I am not sure whether it has been changed.
Also, if I understood correctly I need to use IArtifactModel in place IPluginAwareArtifactModel in order to implement ModelClass?

I am working on other errors. In case I am stuck I might disturb you again. Thanks for this help.

Thanks & Regards
Kalyan

Hi Kalyan,
 
I am in meetings in the US this week - I will get you a detailed reply next week, but in essence, *most* of the class names etc in the plugin.xml should be migrated automatically, but you may find you have to change a few items.
 
In the API  the majority of methods now return Collections rather than Arrays. (where appropriate!). The name of the methods have been tidied up in a lot of cases too, so the that "Iext" naming has been removed - eg getIextFields() is now just getFields() for example.
 
In the templates, the main change is that the $pluginRef context entry is now called $pluginConfig.
 
We are still working on the API so there may be one or two further changes yet to come - hopefully not too many. We are also working on documentation of the new stuff (and migration hints).
 
Let me know if you have any specific questions, and I can try to get you a quick answer,
 
Richard

Subject: [tigerstripe-dev] Plugin migration from version 2.2.4 to latest

Hi,

 We have some plugins written on top of version 2.2.4 and would like to migrate them to latest version. One change is clear that com.tigerstripe* is renamed to org.eclipse.tigerstripe.*
But there are many more changes.
So, I would like to know if there is any migration procedure to migrate the plugins to new tigerstripe versions?

Thanks in advance
Kalyan
