[jbosstools-dev] [action] jbosstools-base/runtimes packages have been re-organized

Hi All: I did use-scans everywhere I possibly could, and tried to maintain that all current APIs still work, but I did finally get around to marking most of runtimes code to be internal. I also did not stop exporting any of the original packages, yet. But this is the notice that in the next major release, those packages will no longer be exported. So... sometime in the next few weeks / months, if your code uses the runtimes component, go through your code and make sure deprecated methods aren't used, internal packages aren't referenced, and respect the new restrictions. I've bumped the major version to 3.0.0 to make clear that all old deprecated code will be removed for the next major release. If your code is using a method for which there is no obvious alternative, PING ME and REQUEST the api, or some similar replacement, be made public for your use, or ask me to help you migrate your existing code. Again, as I said, no code should break at this point. I've locally built base, server, javaee, and central. But there will be further cleanup eventually, so this is basically your warning. if you're wondering why I made the large changes first, instead of sent the email first, it's because it needed to be done this way. If I alerted you first that I plan to change versions to 3.0.0, you'd update your manifest.mf to make 3.0.0 the minimal range BEFORE i bumped hte version, which would mean your code wouldn't compile because the 3.0.0 bundle would not be found. So, I made the changes as API-Compatible as I can, everything is set up, all code is marked clearly whether it's public or not, everything's javadoc'd, and all packages are still exported. Now it's your turn to clean your code, before I make everything hidden. I'm not in a super rush to mark everything as hidden, but it will be for the next major release once we can guarantee all clients are migrated. Also, you MAY need to depend on foundation.core and foundation.ui. Runtimes does not re-export these plugins, but it does make use of them. Previously, runtimes depended on common, but I have severed this link and runtimes now depends on the lower-level foundation instead. Again, nothing should break currently. if anything has broken, please ping me immediately. - Rob Stryker Causing Problems, as usual.
