PDE/API Tools/Tasks
API Tools provides a number of tasks to integrate the tooling into your releng builds. They are available in the org.eclipse.pde.api.tools bundle.
For documentation on task parameters and results see our official documentation.
Analysis
This task runs a complete API analysis of an API profile relative to a baseline - including API use, binary compatibility, and bundle version number validation. The profile is the current state of a product under development. The profile is compared to an API baseline for binary compatibility (usually the previous release of a product).
The analysis does not include @since tag validation as all verification is performed on binary class files (source is not analyzed).
Analysis Report Conversion - The report conversion task converts the XML reports created by the Analysis Ant task into an HTML report.
API Freeze
API Freeze Report Conversion - The report conversion task converts the XML reports created by the API Freeze Ant task into an HTML report.
API Deprecation
API Deprecation Report Conversion - The report conversion task converts the XML reports created by the API Deprecation Ant task into an HTML report.
API Use
API Use Report Conversion - The report conversion task converts the XML reports created by the API Use Ant task into an HTML report.
API Use Migration
API Use Migration Report Conversion - The report conversion task converts the XML reports created by the API Use Migration Ant task into an HTML report.
