Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] New PDE error reporting in 4.2m4

Hi Martin

Do you only want to develop using 4.2
as your IDE or do you also want your code be based on 4.2 i.e. use 4.2
as target platform? If the former, I suspect that your target platform
is wrong (4.2 instead of 3.x).

> For

with each of the new reports introduced.
Quick Fix is not the right thing here.
I think PDE should do the same as JDT and offer to go to the correct preference
via rich hover (no, I don't think there's a bug for that yet).

Having said that, I doubt that changing
the severity from 'Error' to 'Warning' is what you should do. Instead,
I would go to the 'Problems' view, group the problems by 'Java Problem
Type' and then first fix the errors in the 'Build Path' and the 'Plug-in
Development' category.

Hi all,
 
Updating to 4.2m4 as my SDK for development,
I’m finding myself swamped with tons of new errors such that I can’t
compile my code any more.
 
I do see some value in reporting issues
such as version constraints in require-bundle, but …
-          Some
messages do not seem appropriate to report as errors (eg exporting an “internal”
package with x-friends should not require specifying a version with the
package; or, adding additional files to the source build should not be
an error).
-          And
it should be easier to turn them from “error” to “warning” (which Preference
Page item corresponds to what error?)
 
The effort needed before I can compile
my code which has been running fine for years seems not acceptable for
me.
For instance, I’d expect a quickfix “convert
this error into a warning” with each of the new reports introduced.
 
Is this already discussed in a bug anywhere
?
What are other projects doing ?
 
Thanks,
Martin_______________________________________________
