RE: [mylar-dev] Re: Compile Error from source

["Mik Kersten" <beatmik@xxxxxxx>]

Regarding Eclipse 3.1, Mylar does support it (2/3 of our user base is still
on 3.1, but that has been slowly shifting).  You can build the 3.1 sources
by checking out the e_3_1 branch of the projects that have had to be forked.
See the following link for instructions and post if you have any problems.
Note that typically this branch only gets merged once every couple of weeks.

Regarding migrating from the use of internal classes, this is something that
will take time, and require changes in the SDK since Mylar is a new
technology that was not yet conceived when the APIs were created.  And as
Felix indicates Technology projects need to stay on the bleeding edge, in
part to help Eclipse evolve.  

But we've actually made some progress on this front for the next release:
there is no more custom Mylar Java editor in the 3.2 version thanks to
recent changes that we've helped drive in Eclipse, and as a result active
folding and content assist integration use public extension points and API.
Some additional notes on APIs and extensibility are at:

Cheers,

Mik
