Folks,

      I've received a couple of inquiries about the plugin version ID
changes that were mentioned in the attached note.  Simply put, due to the
fact that the WTP 3.2 M1 shutdown was moved up a week, it would have been a
violation of the WTP shutdown procedure for me to make the plugin version
ID changes and associated code changes.  Therefore, these plugin version ID
changes will occur after we declare WTP 3.2 M1, which is scheduled to
happen on August 14th.  If you have already widened your ranges to tolerate
the new plugin version IDs, you will be fine.  If not, please be aware that
these changes are still forthcoming.

FWIW,

Folks,

In WTP 3,2, as part of https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=269281
, we are refactoring the classes that WST uses out of org.eclipse.jem.util
and into various WST plugins. (The jem.util classes are converted to
wrappers and are deprecated. Their WST replacements have the same name and
are referenced by fully qualified name in the @deprecated tag.) These
plugins will all have their minor level bumped, since this is a big change.
(Note that org.eclipse.jem.util will still have the same API and extension
points and should work just the same as it does today- however, it will be
moved out of org.eclipse.wst.common_core.feature and into
org.eclipse.jst.web_core.feature. That means that plugins above the WST
layer should still be able to access everything just as they do today.)
As is listed in the bug, here are the new plugin version ids:

org.eclipse.jem.util 2.1.0
org.eclipse.wst.common.core 1.2.0
org.eclipse.wst.common.emf 1.2.0
org.eclipse.wst.common.emfworkbench.integration 1.2.0
org.eclipse.wst.common.frameworks 1.2.0
org.eclipse.wst.common.frameworks.ui 1.2.0
org.eclipse.wst.common.modulecore 1.2.0

I plan on committing these plugin version changes right after the WTP 3.2
declare on August 6th. Also, while you are updating these ranges, I would
highly recommend removing any dependency on org.eclipse.jem.util (including
extension points, as these are also being moved down) and instead use the
appropriate WST class/extension point. (Those changes will be committed
this week, after the WTP 3.2 declare. The bug will be updated as the
various parts are put in.) Our long-term plan is to make
org.eclipse.jem.util exactly what it should be - a utility plugin for JEM
(and only JEM). However, as per our API contract, for the WTP 3.2 release,
the jem.util API is remaining intact... but will be deprecated.
Please let me know if you have any comments/questions/concerns.

FWIW,

- Carl Anderson
