Plugin refactor log

November 21, 2006

not yet committed - moved org.eclipse.jst.jsf.core.internal.types package to org.eclipse.jst.jsf.common plugin. Renamed package to org.eclipse.jst.jsf.common.internal.types.

In the continued effort to refactor and reduce our JSF plugins, the following actions have been taken:

- the JSF code and test plugins have been branched on the R1_5_maintenance path. All future maintenance and patch work must be committed against this branch if it applies to the 1.5.x release stream.

- the JSF plugins have been updated to merge the following plugins:

org.eclipse.jst.jsf.contentmodel.annotations org.eclipse.jst.jsf.context org.eclipse.jst.jsf.context.structureddocument org.eclipse.jst.jsf.context.resolver org.eclipse.jst.jsf.context.resolver.structureddocument

into a new plugin: org.eclipse.jst.jsf.common. Furthermore, the above plugins have been *intentionally broken* at HEAD. These plugins should no longer be used for ongoing development in the WTP 2.0 build stream.

Please be advised that as part of plugin refactoring, the following plugins will soon be obsolete at HEAD (unreleased):

org.eclipse.jst.jsf.context org.eclipse.jst.jsf.context.resolver org.eclipse.jst.jsf.context.structureddocument org.eclipse.jst.jsf.context.resolver.structureddocument org.eclipse.jst.jsf.contentmodel.annotations

All code and API will be preserved in a new common plugin called: org.eclipse.jst.jsf.common.

Impact:

Once these changes are promoted to release (no sooner than M3):

1) Any adopter plugins currently relying any of these plugins will need to remove Manifest.MF references to them and add one for org.eclipse.jst.jsf.common. Package names will not be changed.

2) Any adopters using the org.eclipse.jst.jsf.contentmodel.annotations.annotationFiles extension point must change the name to: org.eclipse.jst.jsf.common.annotationsFiles.

Another message will be sent on this mailing list once the change has been committed to CVS. Please send any questions or concerns to this mailing list.

Regards,

Cameron
