Just to let you know, the workbench advisor concept does still work in Eclipse 4. Some of the methods on WorkbenchWindowAdvisor have been superceded by other mechanisms and are marked deprecated, but unless deprecated and documented, it should be working. Of course you might still want to get r

2011-10-05 Thread John Arthorne
I'm not a Tycho user and I don't claim to fully understand the issues here, but there seems to be confusion on what this Tycho change means. It is still possible to keep your feature and bundle ids the same when using this new version of Tycho. For a description of how to handle it, please see

Note that the Eclipse Platform team has also been running these tests on Java 7, and working through the related failures (with both IBM and Oracle Java 7 VMs). See the following bug and its dependents: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=342688 If you find Java 7-related test failure

[linuxtools-dev] Running Eclipse with OpenJDK 6

2010-10-04 Thread John Arthorne
Does anyone here have concrete experience with running Eclipse on OpenJDK 6? We have a user reporting that it is unstable (on Fedora 11), but we'll like to know if this is a pervasive problem or something isolated. In the past we have added code in the platform to detect and warn the user if th

2010-01-19 Thread John Arthorne
Just to clarify the purpose of this process, the CQ's exist mainly as a way of documenting dependencies. Filing a CQ allows them to be harvested and documented automatically by the IP log tool, which is far better than trying to do this by hand. The main thing you need to decide is whether it i
