Re: [dali-dev] Dali and Public API changes

[Leonard Theivendra <theivend@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I would like to add to Max's rant as well :) We are facing the same issues 
when supporting multiple eclipse releases, so would be interested in the 
Dali team's guidance on how to proceed.

We just discovered further API changes in the latest Juno codebase that 
breaks us (bugzilla 377451)

Regards,
Len.

Re: [dali-dev] Dali and Public API changes







<rant>
Dali is almost always the API we cannot support across eclipse versions 
with the same codebase - normally in all other API's we've been able to 
use
proper interfaces or a in a few places a bit of reflection to work around 
it - but for Dali the changes are just too massive.
</rant>

Do you have any tips on how adopters are meant to use Dali and support it 
across of Eclipse 3.7/3.8 ?

How do your own adopters at Oracle do this ?

Is there any chance that latest Dali release can run on both 3.7 and 
3.8/4.2 and we could do it that way ?
(i.e. depend on Dali M7 from both 3.7 and 3.8 codebases)
