If you follow the instructions at http://wiki.eclipse.org/Linux_Tools_Project/LTTng_Eclipse_Plug-in_Development_Environement_Setup#Define_an_API_baseline_.28optional.29 you should not get any errors with latest master (if you do, please file bugs/patches!). This requires keeping the baseline installation up-to-date, so today a baseline install should be 2.0, and when 2.1 comes out it should be updated to 2.1, etc. What I think is happening in your case is that your baseline is at a version before 2.0. So the tool sees many @since 2.0 methods that are not part of your baseline, so it thinks they are new in the current version (2.1). Updating your baseline to 2.0 should fix it. Note that 2.1 has already been branched, but we normally bump the version in master only after the stable release is made. That way developers can update their baseline using the standard update site (see section "Update the baseline" in the link above). > Perhaps related to this, I am wondering where/how I get API baselines for > previous releases. e.g. is there some XML file I import, or perhaps API > baselines can be imported as a part of an epf file? I agree, having some kind of "symbols" file would make things much easier! But from what I understand, it only supports actual, compiled plugins as the baseline. It's possible to use a very bare installation, like an update site built with Maven, but I've always had trouble trying to set that up. So I just use a full-blown Eclipse install on the side with the plugins installed manually in it. Hope this helps.
