[wtp-dev] WTP Java EE Deprecated classes due for deletion.

[Chuck Bridgham <cbridgha@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Sent this note earlier - but held up...
 (resending) - apologize if this is a dup.

Carl Anderson previously sent a warning
message many months ago... - so its time to clean these up.

The following list of classes/interfaces
are due to be deleted very soon:

org.eclipse.jst.j2ee.datamodel.properties.IJ2EEComponentCreationDataModelProperties
org.eclipse.jst.j2ee.datamodel.properties.IJavaComponentCreationDataModelProperties
org.eclipse.jst.j2ee.ejb.datamodel.properties.IEJBClientComponentCreationDataModelProperties
org.eclipse.jst.j2ee.internal.common.operations.JarDependencyDataModelProperties
org.eclipse.jst.j2ee.internal.common.operations.JarDependencyDataModelProvider
org.eclipse.jst.j2ee.internal.common.operations.UpdateJavaBuildPathOperation
org.eclipse.jst.j2ee.internal.wizard.J2EEArtifactCreationWizard
org.eclipse.jst.j2ee.internal.wizard.J2EEComponentCreationWizard
org.eclipse.jst.j2ee.internal.wizard.J2EEComponentCreationWizardPage
org.eclipse.jst.j2ee.internal.wizard.NewModuleGroup
org.eclipse.jst.j2ee.internal.wizard.ServerEarAndStandaloneGroup
org.eclipse.wst.common.componentcore.datamodel.properties.IComponentCreationDataModelProperties
org.eclipse.wst.common.componentcore.datamodel.properties.IFlexibleProjectCreationDataModelProperties
org.eclipse.wst.common.componentcore.datamodel.FlexibleProjectCreationDataModelProvider
org.eclipse.wst.common.componentcore.internal.operation.ComponentCreationDataModelProvider
org.eclipse.wst.common.componentcore.internal.operation.FlexibleProjectCreationOperation
org.eclipse.wst.common.frameworks.internal.DoNotUseMeThisWillBeDeletedPost15
org.eclipse.wst.common.frameworks.internal.operations.IProjectCreationProperties
org.eclipse.wst.common.frameworks.internal.operations.ProjectCreationDataModelProvider
org.eclipse.wst.common.frameworks.internal.operations.ProjectCreationOperation
org.eclipse.wst.web.internal.operation.ILibModule
org.eclipse.wst.web.internal.operation.ISimpleWebModuleCreationDataModelProperties
org.eclipse.wst.web.internal.operation.LibModule
org.eclipse.wst.web.internal.operation.SimpleWebModuleCreationDataModelProvider
org.eclipse.wst.web.internal.operation.StaticWebModuleCreationFacetOperation
org.eclipse.wst.web.ui.internal.wizards.SimpleWebModuleCreationWizard
org.eclipse.wst.web.ui.internal.wizards.SimpleWebModuleWizardBasePage


The following classes will have methods/variables
deleted:
org.eclipse.jst.j2ee.datamodel.properties.IJ2EEModuleImportDataModelProperties
        EAR_COMPONENT_NAME
        ADD_TO_EAR
org.eclipse.jst.j2ee.internal.archive.operations.ComponentSaveStrategyImpl.saveToOutputPathIFile(IPath
projectRelativePath, InputStream in)
org.eclipse.jst.j2ee.internal.archive.ComponentArchiveSaveAdapter.saveToOutputPathIFile(IPath
projectRelativePath, InputStream in)
org.eclipse.wst.common.componentcore.datamodel.properties.ICreateReferenceComponentsDataModelProperties
        TARGET_COMPONENT_ARCHIVE_NAME

These classes and methods have been
deprecated (with suggested replacements) since April 4, 2006.  They
were deprecated before WTP 1.5 was released, and as such, adopers have
had WTP 1.5 through 1.5.5 and 2.0 through 2.0.2 to modify their code.  Furthermore,
the functionality of these classes has been questionable (most of them
have been broken) since WTP 1.5.

For reference, WTP's new API policy
: http://wiki.eclipse.org/WTP_API_Policy

And lastly, as per that policy, we will
be deleting the above classes, methods, and statics as soon as the WTP
3.0 Integration build is declared on March 21, 2008.  As such, the
deletion will be rolled out to adopters in the March 28, 2008 WTP 3.0 Integration
build.
