Re: [jdt-ui-dev] Breaking API change for TypeParameter#resolveBinding()

[Markus Keller <markus_keller@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Jerome, could you please tag jdt.core
when this change is released?

Our compiler settings flag unnecessary
casts as error, and it would be convenient if we could use a preview of
jdt.core until we get the next integration build.

Thanks,
Markus

Subject	[jdt-ui-dev] Breaking API change for TypeParameter#resolveBinding()

The JDT Core API TypeParameter#resolveBinding() currently returns an
IBinding. It should really return an ITypeBinding.
JDT Core plans on changing this 3.1 API to correctly return an
ITypeBinding.

In I20050118-1015, the only clients of this method are within JDT UI:
- ConvertAnonymousToNestedRefactoring.java (line 404)
- MoveInnerToTopRefactoring.java (line 322)
- MoveInstanceMethodProcessor.java (line 309)

The side effect on this client code will be an 'Unecessary cast' warning.

If you see any reason for not making this change, please speak up now.

Jerome
