A number of obsolete classes in the Eclipse Core Databinding framework have been marked for deletion at some point after September 2022.
There are two groups of classes that this applies to. ### Observable factory classes These has been obsolete since 2014 when the databinding framework transitioned to use a property-based design. They are the following: org.eclipse.core.databinding.beans.BeansObservables org.eclipse.core.databinding.beans.PojoObservables org.eclipse.jface.databinding.swt.SWTObservables org.eclipse.jface.databinding.viewers.ViewersObservables org.eclipse.ui.databinding.WorkbenchObservables All methods on these classes have corresponding property factories methods that can be used as drop-in replacements. The general pattern for updating client code is the following: IObservableValue<Object> value = ViewersObservables.observeSingleSelection(viewer); Can be replaced by this: IObservableValue<Object> value = ViewerProperties.singleSelection().observe(viewer); This is the relevant Bugzilla ticket: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=546820 ### Untyped property factory classes When type parameters where added to the classes in the databinding framework in 2019 some old classes where preserved without updates to preserve backwards compatibility. They now use raw types. These classes were given fully typed buddies, located in a sub-package called "typed". For example, this class has factory methods that return untyped, raw property objects: org.eclipse.jface.databinding.swt.WidgetProperties The following class is updated to return property objects with type arguments: org.eclipse.jface.databinding.swt.typed.WidgetProperties The following untyped property factory classes have been marked for deletion: org.eclipse.ui.databinding.WorkbenchProperties org.eclipse.core.databinding.beans.BeanProperties org.eclipse.core.databinding.beans.PojoProperties org.eclipse.jface.databinding.viewers.ViewerProperties org.eclipse.jface.databinding.swt.WidgetProperties This is the relevant Bugzilla ticket: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=546822 Best regards, Jens Lideström _______________________________________________ cross-project-issues-dev mailing list cross-project-issues-dev@eclipse.org To unsubscribe from this list, visit https://www.eclipse.org/mailman/listinfo/cross-project-issues-dev
