Re: [eclipse-dev] How to get rid of errors when @nooverride tag is added?
|
API tooling treats restriction modifications (for example, adding
@nooverride to a method, adding @noextend to a class...), as breaking API
changes. This is similar to adding a final keyword to a method or class -
which is a breaking API change. In these situations, as long as the API
change has approval (pmc?), the tag can be added and a API problem filter
should be added to the class (this can be done with a using a quick fix
for the @nooverride tag error). Once the initial error has been filtered,
the secondary plug-in version error will disappear on its own (since there
are no more breaking API changes).
In this case it sounds like adding the tag is the correct thing to do
since the javadoc already indicated this restriction.

[eclipse-dev] How to get rid of errors when @nooverride tag is added?
The issue is, javadoc says that a method is not intended to be overridden
by clients, but there is no @nooverride tag.
To fix this, @nooverride tag is added, but api tooling treats it as an
error and requests major version modification.
How should it be handled?
