Here are descriptions of some of the changes of interest to plug-in developers made to the Eclipse Platform and SWT for the 4.30 release of Eclipse.
New features oriented towards end-users of the platform can be viewed in the What's New section of the Eclipse Platform User Guide.
Platform Changes |
|
Eclipse Search |
The org.eclipse.search bundle has been split into core and ui bundles. This will allow headless extenders to make use of the text search engine. |
Snapshot API for Undoable operations |
The org.eclipse.ui.ide.undo package in the org.eclipse.ui.ide bundle has been migrated into the core platform and is now available in the org.eclipse.core.resources.undo.snapshot package and it's internal counterpart. This has allowed JDT to move significant portions of their refactor and proposal logic into bundles more suited to a headless environment. |
