Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] JFace Generics

[Lars Vogel <lars.vogel@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Eike,

this is a GSoC done by Hendrik (cc) and was announced on PlanetEclipse. See http://blog.vogella.com/2013/06/17/google-summer-of-code-at-eclipse-2/. John Arthone and I are the mentors for this project

The work is still ongoing so far the ComboViewer and the TableViewer have been converted as well several basic classes. We currently don't know if we can generify IStructuredSelection. 

Input is very welcome, the umbrella bug is https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=402445 and every code change is pushed to Gerrit. Look in https://git.eclipse.org/r/#/q/platform/eclipse.platform.ui,n,z for Hendrik (so don't know how to narrow the query down to Hendrik only).

Best regards, Lars

Hi,

After updating my target platform to Luna I noticed that my workspace is full of raw type warnings caused by changes in JFace to generify its APIs, for example Viewer. But the changes look incomplete, e.g., ViewerDropAdapter.getViewer() is still a raw type. Can we expect more such changes, e.g., IStructuredSelection?

Has there been an announcement for these changes? Is there any advice on how to adjust our code?

What about other Eclipse APIs, such as IAdaptable.getAdapter(Class), will it be changed to <T> T getAdapter(Class<T>)?

Cheers
/Eike
