[wtp-dev] Fw: Server Tools API work

[Timothy Deboer <deboer@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Just a reminder that the first batch
of Server Tools API change are coming... this week! I'll be dropping the
changes to the build immediately following the weekly integration build
on 12/2.

I've had discussions with several of
you on the API changes, providing information & help on moving up.
If you have plugins that depend on the plugins listed below, but haven't
talked to me yet, now would be a good time. Please send me a quick note
with your plugin names and which parts of the API you use, and I can provide
assistance with the change. You can also find some information and examples
of how code will change in CVS under "jst/components/server/development/miscdocuments/Server
Tools API Branch.html".

Thanks,

Hi everyone,

The server tools component is undergoing
some API work in response to defect 73096 and general API cleanup. These
changes _will_ break existing API users, so it is being done in CVS on
the ServerToolsAPI branch. The following plugins are currently on this
branch:

org.eclipse.jst.server.core
org.eclipse.jst.server.tomcat.core
org.eclipse.jst.server.tomcat.tests.performance
org.eclipse.jst.server.tomcat.ui
org.eclipse.jst.server.ui
org.eclipse.wst.server.core
org.eclipse.wst.server.core.tests
org.eclipse.wst.server.tests.performance
org.eclipse.wst.server.ui
org.eclipse.wst.server.util

For the upcoming milestone, we hope
to make as many of the changes as possible, and merge back into the HEAD
stream in time for other teams to react for the milestone build (after
the I build on the 25th? I will send another note out when we have a date
for the merge). Please forward any questions to me, and let me know if
you are using these API so that I can help as much as possible during the
merge.

Thanks,
