Hi, 

as announced with Luna ( here ) we have removed the Eclipse 2.0 runtime-level 
compatibility support (was deprecated since 2004). This means that, starting 
with Eclipse Neon, plugins using Eclipse 2.x compatibility bundles will not be 
working anymore. The details are on bug 394739 . The clean-up is still in 
progress. If you have a specific question on how to migrate etc. feel free to 
ask (the sooner the better). 

The javadocs of the removed methods and API provide hints on how to port the 
code to the OSGi-style bundles. There is also discussion going on the 
deprecated o.e.core.runtime.Platform methods and its related deprecated classes 
(IPluginRegistry etc.) which, even though still available as deprecated, will 
be no-ops as they need the compatibility layer. The process to remove them was 
started and the announcement of API removal is in bug 475944 . Feel free to 
give constructive opinions there also. 

Best regards, 
Sopot
