Martin, this may be caused by new PDE tooling, not 4.2...what was the 
environment you were using before the switch ?

Do you get the same errors when using 3.8M4 ? 

Note that we only modify the org.eclipse.ui.workbench bundle (effectively) 
so there should be no way for us to introduce compile errors unless you 
are down-casting and calling internal methods.

Let be know what you discover, I'll try to get some more input from Curtis 
Windatt (he's on my buddy list now..;-) and post anything I find here...

Eric

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

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_______________________________________________
