Explaining Reported Breaking Changes
- DecoratingLabelProvider - BREAKING CHANGE, STILL OPEN - see https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=171612
- DeviceResourceException - changed to an unchecked exception (non-breaking change), this lead to the following non-breaking changes in other classes:
- DeviceResourceDescriptor.createResource - throws clause
- ResourceManager.createXXX - throws clauses
- Additions to interfaces that are not to be implemented by clients:
- ICommandService
- IPageLayout
- IPlaceholderFolderLayout
- IWorkbench
- IWorkbenchPartReference
- IWorkingSet
- IPresentablePart
- IStackPresentationSite
- IResourceNavigator
- ICommonContentExtensionSite
- INavigatorContentService
- INavigatorFilterService
- INavigatorSorterService
- IIDEActionConstants.FIND_EXT - fixed the constant value to match the spec. Existing clients cannot be broken because the old constant was the same as the one for CUT_EXT. See https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=155856
- IDEEncoding.setResourceEncoding - removed method, but was marked as non-API all the time, see https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=108931
- Removed "throws CoreException" clause in implementation of IStorageEditorInput (non-breaking): FileEditorInput
- Removed "throws CoreException" clause in subclass of WorkspaceAction (non-breaking): RenameResourceAction
