Re: [riena-dev] SWT Ridget implementations becoming API ?

Hi Elias,

Provisional API -> Full API does not have to include a package name change (although this is what p2 decided to do). It can simply be a matter of having/removing x-internal markup in manifest (and this *is* required I believe).

See this Architecture Council bug for ongoing conventions discussion: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=261874

Hi committers,


I've noticed that some parts of the Ridget implementations (AbstractActionRidget, etc.) have been moved to org.eclipse.riena.ui.ridgets.swt. I know that some of you are working on custom ridgets using this stuff.

One concern I have is that we may restrict ourselves too much in the future, by promoting these implementations to API status too early.

Let me know your thoughts on this...

Kind regards,
Elias.


PS: A middle ground would to promote these classes to "provisional" api status. The drawback is that is adds an additional refactoring step of making the official API (package move). However it is understood by consumers that provisional APIs may change.
