[gmf-dev] Removal of MSL Compatibility and Related Plug-ins This Week

[Christian Damus <cdamus@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, all,

I have updated https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=129416
with patches to perform the following changes:

• delete the following plug-ins from mapfiles, PSFs, feature manifests, and build/test scripts:
  • org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.emf.core.compatibility:  the "MSL Compatibility" plug-in
  • org.eclipse.gmf.examples.runtime.emf:  the MSL example, which is obsoleted by an enhanced Logic Diagram example
  • org.eclipse.gmf.tests.runtime.emf.core:  the test plug-in tested the MSL API; we will need to create a new one for the emf.core plug-in and then re-instate it in the build and test scripts
  • update the on-line documentation to:
    • delete all of the EMFT content, now that EMFT delivers this separately
    • delete the MSL content (except for Clipboard)
    • fix up one or two other problems (e.g., broken links) that I found in testing my doc changes
    
    Are there any objections to these changes being committed for this week's I-build?
    
    Max/Rich, I think that I have covered all of the build- and packaging-related files that deal with these plug-ins.  I'll keep a close eye on the continuous builds to look for problems after commit, but maybe you want to try a test build of these patches before they are committed?
    
    Thanks,
    
    Christian
