Re: [wtp-dev] wtp requirements

Hi Sachin,

I believe most people will agree that
WTP should be forward binary compatible with Eclipse, EMF, etc... However,
there's still work to be done. In order to achieve this goal, we first
need to cleanse WTP from using non-APIs (aka. API violations). The WTP
team is working on that already. API violations reports are generated every
public build to help teams identify problems and bugzilla are opened to
track them. The following bugzilla query shows you all the API violation
that we have:

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/buglist.cgi?query_format=advanced&short_desc_type=allwordssubstr&short_desc=%5Binternal+api%5D&product=Web+Tools&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED&cmdtype=doit&order=Reuse+same+sort+as+last+time&field0-0-0=noop&type0-0-0=noop&value0-0-0=

As to WTP 1.0 being broken on Eclipse
3.2, we are aware of this issue. The following bugs are used to track that:

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/buglist.cgi?query_format=advanced&short_desc_type=allwordssubstr&short_desc=Eclipse+3.2&product=Web+Tools&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED&cmdtype=doit&order=Reuse+same+sort+as+last+time&field0-0-0=noop&type0-0-0=noop&value0-0-0=

Also, there were some discussion about
creating a 1.5 code stream after 1.0 M9. The 1.5 code stream will be based
on Eclipse 3.2.

Subject	[wtp-dev] wtp requirements

So I'm being asked why WTP requires a specific level
of Eclipse, EMF, 
etc.....  as specified in the "Requirements" section on
the download 
page.  Their concern is that all eclipse projects should be supporting
an N-2 model, thus WTP .7 should run on 3.1.1 and 3.2, as well as WTP 
1.0 should run on current 3.2 builds.  Is this a valid concern? If
not 
whats the formal answer on this?  Are these version requirements only
"recommend requirements"?

If someone posts on defect claiming the WTP 1.0 is broke on Eclipse 3.2
M2, would that just be marked as INVALID?

Thanks.
