[eclipse-dev] Comment on Eclipse Project 2.0 DRAFT plan: Workspace compa

[manahan@xxxxxxxxxx]

Hi, is the following statement only viable for "eclipse" project plugins (I
expect that what was meant, just for clarity). There are many plugins out
there which make use/create metadata in the workspace. Are (there/will
there be) guidelines on how to make use of metadata in the workspace in
order to have a successful upgrade to a 2.0 workspace as described.? If not
you may want to add a disclaimer as people may expect eclipse to be
handling most of their migration issues.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
Workspace Compatibility: Eclipse 2.0 will be upwards workspace-compatible
with Eclipse 1.0 unless noted. This means that workspaces and projects
created with Eclipse 1.0 can be successfully opened by Eclipse 2.0 and
upgraded to a 2.0 workspace. Downward workspace compatibility is not
supported. A workspace created (or opened) by Eclipse 2.0 will be unusable
with an earlier version of Eclipse.
