Thanks for helping.

Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] Windowbuilder is broken in the release train

2020-09-20 Thread Ed Willink 

Hi

It would be nice to avoid WindowBuilder going the same way as VE the 
Visual Editor.


IIRC I managed to resurrect a VE build to make it useable for a couple 
of extra years, by which time WindowBuilder came to the rescue. That 
seems so long ago (2008) that I can find no sign of my rescue with 
Google; probably because VE has been erased (archived).


If you can identify the API breakage we can maybe persuade the platform 
to revert.


    Regards

        Ed Willink

individually updated?


Thanks,

Wim,

I suppose one alternative is to respin the train repo, but
that's a big undertaking, especially trying to get it to have
consistently the same contents as what it current has, other
than the updated Window Builder.

Another alternative might be to compose your release
repository into the train composite.   But you have categories
in your update site and those would likely become visible.  So
probably not a good idea either.

I suspect there is no good/feasible solution at this late
point.  :-(

Regards,
Ed

Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] Windowbuilder is broken in the release train

2020-09-20 Thread Ed Merks 

Wim,

The org.eclipse.e4.rcp feature depends on EMF like this:

   
  match="compatible"/>
  match="compatible"/>

   

I believe that is what allows these EMF features to be independently 
updated within the compatible range while ensuring that installing that 
feature also installs these EMF features.   (Note how very, very old the 
lower bound is, given EMF 2.23 just released.)


Regards,
Ed
