API changes

• Added new API to org.eclipse.core.runtime.BootLoader to return the lists of known OS, ARCH, and WS values. See the BootLoader class for more details.
• Added new constants BootLoader.OS_MACOSX and BootLoader.WS_CARBON. See the BootLoader class for more details.

Other highlights

• The non-API class org.eclipse.core.launcher.UIMain has been removed. Code previously calling this class can reference org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main since UIMain was a wrapper to call Main with the workbench application, and now the application will be picked up from the primary feature.

API changes

• Added a new constant (PREF_ENCODING) and API (ResourcesPlugin.getEncoding()) to help with persistence of the encoding type to use when reading text files. See org.eclipse.core.resources.ResourcesPlugin and the Platform/UI build notes for details.
• Added new API IWorkspace.loadProjectDescription(IPath) which loads a project description file from a .project file on disk. The resulting description file can be used to create the project via the IProject.create APIs. This method is useful for discovering the name of a project from a .project file. See IWorkspace.loadProjectDescription for more details.
• Added API for IPluginDescriptor.find to match the API Plugin.find. These methods are functionally equivalent except the method on IPluginDescriptor does not require the plugin to be activated. Also note that the resulting URL is NEVER a platform: URL and thus does not need to be resolved via Platform.resolve. (although calling #resolve will be a no-op and not cause any harm) See IPluginDescriptor for more details.
• Added new API IResource.isSynchronized(int) which will return a boolean value indicating whether or not the given resource is considered to be synchronized with the local file system to the given depth. See IResource.isSychronized for more information.

API changes

Other highlights

• Support for automatically adding the /fragments directory to a plugin's class path has been removed.

What this means:
- Fragments are now able to live as siblings of their plugins. That is, they both can reside in the same /plugins directory.
- Fragments living in the /fragments directory will NOT automatically be found when running.

How to fix your fragments:
- Move your fragments from <eclipseInstall>/fragments/ to <eclipseInstall>/plugins/.
- Nothing else should be necessary to make this work. (e.g. you do NOT need to rename the fragment.xml file).

API changes

• Added the IMoveDeleteHook interface for the Team plugin to hook. See the interfaces IMoveDeleteHook and IResourceTree for more information. Current limitations:
• Signalling a project move by #beginMoveProject/#endMoveProject does not work. (clients must call #movedProjectSubTree)
• A project move fail if the resources are out of sync with the local file system and the force flag is false. (Note that it does NOT try to move all in-sync resources)
• The project description file has been moved from the project metadata area to the project content area into a file called ".project". Current limitations:
• If #setContents is called on the .project file the changes are reflected in the project description in memory during the next resource change notification.
• If new content is discovered for the .project file from a #refreshLocal the changes are reflected in the project description in memory during the next resource change notification.

• Consolidated many IResource and IWorkspace APIs (delete, copy, move, etc) to use integers specifying flags, rather than having multiple booleans as parameters. See IResource and IWorkspace for details.
• Added more support for natures. See IProjectNatureDescriptor and nature related methods on IWorkspace.

Other highlights

• Plugin registry caching has been enabled by default. On startup, a registy cache is checked against the plugin and fragment files on disk. If it is determined that there are no changes then the cache is used rather than parsing the XML files. If the user does not want to use the registry cache mechanism, then there is a command line argument "-noregistrycache" which can be used to enforce parsing of the XML files.

What's new in this drop

API changes

• 5039  IFile.create with force true does not handle case variants
• The compromise is that methods that create files and folders on disk will return

a special status constant in the CoreException if a case variant collision is
detected.  This constant is IResourceStatus.CASE_VARIANT_EXISTS.  The idea is
that at least this allows the programmatic detection of this case, so
appropriate handling can be written.

• Added platform specific resource name validation checks to IWorkspace#validateName.  The given refactoring case still doesn't give pretty results (big error dialog), but there's no more walkbacks. The API comment was updated.
• 5002  API IncrementalProjectBuilder#build should mention how to handle cancel
