Peter Lorenzen wrote:Hi Eric,
thank you for above input. As far as I have seen, the Plugin Book refers to Eclipse 3.4 (Ganymede).
Are there references to what kinds of things can be used or should be avoided to be "backward" compatible to 3.3 and eventually 3.2?
We're still having people using 3.2 occasionally - even though it is not recommended to mix those when working on repositories, it would
be of interest to know if the pitfalls are pointed out on regard of backward compatibility.
Thanks and regards,
Peter
