[jdt-debug-dev] API additions to IVMInstall

[Darin Wright <Darin_Wright@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Notice to clients providing implementations of IVMInstall:

Three API methods were added to IVMInstall during the 3.1 cycle:
        public String getVMArgs()
        public void setVMArgs(String)
        public String getJavaVersion()

We have always intended implementations of IVMInstall to exist as 
subclasses of AbstractVMInstall. The documentation for this has been 
somewhat hidden - in the class comment of AbstractVMInstall ("Clients 
implementing VM installs should subclass this class."). Implementations of 
the three new methods have been provided in AbstractVMInstall (although 
clients should provide an implementation of #getJavaVersion() where 
possible).

Rather than provide an interface extension such as IVMInstallExtension or 
IVMInstall2 to define the new methods, we would like to leave IVMInstall 
in its current form, and improve our documentation to specify that clients 
must subclass AbstractVMInstall when providing an implementation of 
IVMInstall. If there are any objections, please respond on this mailing 
list.

Thanks,

Darin Wright
