Re: [gef-dev] Possible upcoming change on JavaFX-Equinox-Integration
Hi Tom,

thanks for pointing this out. As we will have to release M6+1 on Monday, and a respective e(fx)clipse update would break us if we do not adjust our code base, the only chance of not breaking GEF4 would be:

a) not releasing the e(fx)clipse update with M6, or
b) releasing the e(fx)clipse update with M6, with the following constraints:
1) adjusting and testing GEF4 code base today (we would need to consume the change in order to run tests against it)
2) releasing the e(fx)clipse update already on Monday before the GEF4 release, so the updated GEF4 version will behave properly

As you probably target at b), I would offer that we will run respective tests today (and adjust our code base accordingly), if you can point us to an e(fx)clipse build that provides the described update, which could be used for testing. If we identify blockers (and cannot react to them today), I would propose to postpone the e(fx)clipse update, at least up to M7 (so that would give us enough time to adapt GEF4. If not, we could proceed as outlined in 2).

Cheers
Alexander

Hi,

I know you guys are using our Equinox integration so I'd like to draw
your attention to a possible upcoming change you'd be affected if
implemented.

The nice thing is that you could remove all the javafx* imports in your
MANIFEST.MF because those will be found by default. The Adaptor-Hook
will stay as is but instead of createing a classloader for a specific
module it will act as a last resort loader e.g. to find the
SWT-JavaFX-Bridge.

I case you think this change is too distruptive and too late in the dev
cycle I could push that back to the next release but because we are
doing a 2.0.0 release in Mars this would be the perfect timeing and I
think the same is true for GEF4.

The bug to track is https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=462634

Thanks for your attention

Tom
