          Please use the "org.eclipse.core.commands" plug-in instead.

          Please use the bindings support in the "org.eclipse.jface" plug-in instead. 
org.eclipse.core.runtime.ILibrary
          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.

 
org.eclipse.ui.INestableKeyBindingService
          This is now handled by IServiceLocator which can be nested. 
org.eclipse.core.runtime.IPlatformRunnable
          use IApplication 
org.eclipse.core.runtime.IPluginDescriptor
          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.

 
org.eclipse.core.runtime.IPluginPrerequisite
          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.

 
org.eclipse.core.runtime.IPluginRegistry
          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.

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

 
org.eclipse.team.core.IProjectSetSerializer
          Use RepositoryProviderType.getProjectSetCapability() to obtain an instance of ProjectSetCapability instead.

org.eclipse.search.ui.ISearchResultViewEntry
          Part of the old ('classic') search result view. Since 3.0 clients can create their own search result view pages (see ISearchResultPage), leaving it up to the search how to model search results. AbstractTextSearchResult and Match can be used to port old searches to the new API design.

          Do not use this interface
