Hi

Unfortunately there is notionally and actually deprecated API.

I have been continuing to use org.eclipse.ui.editorActions for probably more than 5 years.Since I could see no easy recommended way forward, I raised

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=455985

3 years later the bug has acquired no comments.

Clearly we have to ignore major version rule change rules otherwise almost any active project would need a major change every release. So it seems we must have an active detector for actually deprecated API. Perhaps actually deprecated API is centrally registered for the required two year interval and tested by some perhaps twice yearly mandatory build (detected by a referenced repo spelling change in *.aggrcon).

Two phases:

- notional deprecation - the developers don't like it and have a long term phase-out goal - announced deprecation - alternative is available, two year timeout in progress

Hi Konstantin

Did DTP not participate in Oxygen in June? There the class was already deleted, so, DTP should have run into this in June already.

Note that we announced the deletion on this mailing list.

Dani,

It wasn’t an internal. It was a deprecated class that was removed. Since DTP isn’t actively being developed, no one saw the deprecation warnings. A major version bump would have allowed the removal to be caught earlier…

org.eclipse.jface.util.ListenerList (removed)

org.eclipse.core.runtime.ListenerList (replacement)


Thanks,

- Konstantin

Do you have a bug report for that? The platform usually doesn't break APIs. Did DTP maybe use internals?

Could someone forward this to the Planning Council, please?

I am currently working with Nick Boldt to transition DTP releng responsibility. In the meantime, the version of DTP in Oxygen.2 has compatibility issues. It was last build with Oxygen.0.M4 and platform made an API change after that which broke some of the DTP functionality. The 1.14.1 release that contains the fix is ready to go. Since EGit has initiated a respin, would it be possible for DTP to join. The change is low risk. Basically changing package names for a class that now must be found in a different plugin and corresponding version updates.

Thanks,

- Konstantin
