IPluginDescriptor
          Deprecated.  IPluginDescriptor was refactored in Eclipse 3.0. Most of the functionality has moved to Platform and the plug-in descriptor has been replaced with the OSGi Bundle object.

This interface must only be used by plug-ins which explicitly require the org.eclipse.core.runtime.compatibility plug-in.

For most uses the bundle object can be treated as an opaque token representing your plug-in to the system -- It must be supplied to various Platform methods but need not be interrogated itself. There are a small number of plug-in descriptor method equivalents supplied by Bundle itself. The details are spelled out in the comments on each IPluginDescriptor method.

Clients of this interface have a reference to an IPluginDescriptor corresponding to a plug-in. To adapt to the deprecation, the bundle corresponding to the plug-in generally needs to be acquired. There are several cases:

  • the descriptor was discovered using methods such as IPluginRegistry.getPluginDescriptor(). The code should be updated to use one of the bundle discovery mechanisms such as Platform.getBundle().
  • the descriptor is from the plug-in itself. The code should be updated to use the plug-in's bundle instead.
  • the descriptor is supplied by a third party. The plug-in writer must cooperate with that party to obtain a bundle rather than a descriptor.

The resulting bundle object can be used to carry out the adaptation steps outlined for each of the IPluginDescriptor methods.

IProgressMonitor
          The IProgressMonitor interface is implemented by objects that monitor the progress of an activity; the methods in this interface are invoked by code that performs the activity.
IStatus
          A status object represents the outcome of an operation.
PlatformObject
          An abstract superclass implementing the IAdaptable interface.
Plugin
          The abstract superclass of all plug-in runtime class implementations.
QualifiedName
          Qualified names are two-part names: qualifier and local name.

          The IProgressMonitor interface is implemented by objects that monitor the progress of an activity; the methods in this interface are invoked by code that performs the activity.

          A configuration element, with its attributes and children, directly reflects the content and structure of the extension section within the declaring plug-in's manifest (plugin.xml) file.
IContributor
          This interface describes a registry contributor - an entity that supplies information to the extension registry.
IExtension
          An extension declared in a plug-in.
IExtensionDelta
          An extension delta represents changes to the extension registry.
IExtensionPoint
          An extension point declared in a plug-in.
IExtensionRegistry
          The extension registry holds the master list of all discovered namespaces, extension points and extensions.
ILibrary
          Deprecated. In Eclipse 3.0 the plug-in classpath representation was changed. Clients of ILibrary are directed to the headers associated with the relevant bundle. In particular, the Bundle-Classpath header contains all available information about the classpath of a plug-in. Having retrieved the header, the ManifestElement helper class can be used to parse the value and discover the individual class path entries. The various header attributes are defined in Constants .

For example,

     String header = bundle.getHeaders().get(Constants.BUNDLE_CLASSPATH);
     ManifestElement[] elements = ManifestElement.parseHeader(
         Constants.BUNDLE_CLASSPATH, header);
     if (elements == null) 
         return;
     elements[0].getValue();   // the jar/dir containing the code
     ...
 

Note that this new structure does not include information on which packages are exported or present in the listed classpath entries. This information is no longer relevant.

See IPluginDescriptor for information on the relationship between plug-in descriptors and bundles.

This interface must only be used by plug-ins which explicitly require the org.eclipse.core.runtime.compatibility plug-in.

ILog
          A log to which status events can be written.
ILogListener
          A log listener is notified of entries added to a plug-in's log.
InvalidRegistryObjectException
          An unchecked exception indicating that an attempt to access an extension registry object that is no longer valid.
IPath
          A path is an ordered collection of string segments, separated by a standard separator character, "/".
IPluginDescriptor
          Deprecated.  IPluginDescriptor was refactored in Eclipse 3.0. Most of the functionality has moved to Platform and the plug-in descriptor has been replaced with the OSGi Bundle object.

  • the descriptor is supplied by a third party. The plug-in writer must cooperate with that party to obtain a bundle rather than a descriptor.

The resulting bundle object can be used to carry out the adaptation steps outlined for each of the IPluginDescriptor methods.

IPluginPrerequisite
          Deprecated. In Eclipse 3.0 the plug-in prerequisite representation was changed. Clients of IPluginPrerequisite are directed to the headers associated with the relevant bundle. In particular, the Require-Bundle header contains all available information about the prerequisites of a plug-in. Having retrieved the header, the ManifestElement helper class can be used to parse the value and discover the individual prerequisite plug-ins. The various header attributes are defined in Constants .

For example,

    String header = bundle.getHeaders().get(Constants.REQUIRE_BUNDLE);
     ManifestElement[] elements = ManifestElement.parseHeader(
         Constants.REQUIRE_BUNDLE, header);
     if (elements == null) 
         return;
     elements[0].getValue();   // the prerequisite plug-in id
     elements[0].getAttribute(Constants.BUNDLE_VERSION_ATTRIBUTE);   // the prerequisite plug-in version
     ...
 

See IPluginDescriptor for information on the relationship between plug-in descriptors and bundles.

This interface must only be used by plug-ins which explicitly require the org.eclipse.core.runtime.compatibility plug-in.

IPluginRegistry
          Deprecated. The plug-in registry has been generalized in Eclipse 3.0. It is now the IExtensionRegistry. Most of the IPluginRegistry function is directly supported on the new interface without change. Most clients of IPluginRegistry need only to change their references to use IExtensionRegistry. The only exceptions are methods that return IPluginDescriptors. See the relevant method comments for details.

IPluginDescriptor
          Deprecated.  IPluginDescriptor was refactored in Eclipse 3.0. Most of the functionality has moved to Platform and the plug-in descriptor has been replaced with the OSGi Bundle object.

This interface must only be used by plug-ins which explicitly require the org.eclipse.core.runtime.compatibility plug-in.

For most uses the bundle object can be treated as an opaque token representing your plug-in to the system -- It must be supplied to various Platform methods but need not be interrogated itself. There are a small number of plug-in descriptor method equivalents supplied by Bundle itself. The details are spelled out in the comments on each IPluginDescriptor method.

Clients of this interface have a reference to an IPluginDescriptor corresponding to a plug-in. To adapt to the deprecation, the bundle corresponding to the plug-in generally needs to be acquired. There are several cases:

  • the descriptor was discovered using methods such as IPluginRegistry.getPluginDescriptor(). The code should be updated to use one of the bundle discovery mechanisms such as Platform.getBundle().
  • the descriptor is from the plug-in itself. The code should be updated to use the plug-in's bundle instead.
  • the descriptor is supplied by a third party. The plug-in writer must cooperate with that party to obtain a bundle rather than a descriptor.

The resulting bundle object can be used to carry out the adaptation steps outlined for each of the IPluginDescriptor methods.
