Re: [cdt-dev] ProjectDescription Storage: It should be possible to exten

[Chris Recoskie <recoskie@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I had more or less assumed based on past discussions (e.g. at the Summit) that we were planning on breaking API to get the build system back to an acceptable state. Perhaps I assumed too much.

I should have fixed the API errors though. Seems I forgot to setup my baseline again after my hard drive crashed in December. I take responsibility for that.

Subject	[cdt-dev] ProjectDescription Storage: It should be possible to extend / override persistence mechanism

Hi,
I have reopend the bug https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=252966 because the patch
breaks API in a non-compatible way. For those who use the API-tooling this is a big annoyance, 
because you get to see all the errors and it is hard to use the tooling to check your own stuff.
 
Either the breakage needs to be fixed, or the plugin version has to be incremented and then the
breakage has to be documented. (I would actually expect a documentation about breaking API plus a
discussion before the checkin).
 
Furthermore the patch is large enough, such that the IP Policy requires aproval from the Eclipse Member Organisation. We do not have the right to violate the Eclipse rules.
 
Markus.
