I got this mail from Chuck about WTP classes being deleted: The following list of classes/interfaces are due to be deleted very soon: org.eclipse.jst.j2ee.datamodel.properties. IJ2EEComponentCreationDataModelProperties org.eclipse.jst.j2ee.datamodel.properties. IJavaComponentCreationDataModelProperties org.eclipse.jst.j2ee.ejb.datamodel.properties.IEJBClientComponentCreationDataModelProperties org.eclipse.jst.j2ee.internal.common.operations.JarDependencyDataModelProperties org.eclipse.jst.j2ee.internal.common.operations.JarDependencyDataModelProvider org.eclipse.jst.j2ee.internal.common.operations.UpdateJavaBuildPathOperation org.eclipse.jst.j2ee.internal.wizard.J2EEArtifactCreationWizard org.eclipse.jst.j2ee.internal.wizard.J2EEComponentCreationWizard org.eclipse.jst.j2ee.internal.wizard.J2EEComponentCreationWizardPage org.eclipse.jst.j2ee.internal.wizard.NewModuleGroup org.eclipse.jst.j2ee.internal.wizard.ServerEarAndStandaloneGroup org.eclipse.wst.common.componentcore.datamodel.properties.IComponentCreationDataModelProperties org.eclipse.wst.common.componentcore.datamodel.properties.IFlexibleProjectCreationDataModelProperties org.eclipse.wst.common.componentcore.datamodel.FlexibleProjectCreationDataModelProvider org.eclipse.wst.common.componentcore.internal.operation.ComponentCreationDataModelProvider org.eclipse.wst.common.componentcore.internal.operation.FlexibleProjectCreationOperation org.eclipse.wst.common.frameworks.internal.DoNotUseMeThisWillBeDeletedPost15 org.eclipse.wst.common.frameworks.internal.operations.IProjectCreationProperties org.eclipse.wst.common.frameworks.internal.operations.ProjectCreationDataModelProvider org.eclipse.wst.common.frameworks.internal.operations.ProjectCreationOperation org.eclipse.wst.web.internal.operation.ILibModule org.eclipse.wst.web.internal.operation.ISimpleWebModuleCreationDataModelProperties org.eclipse.wst.web.internal.operation.LibModule org.eclipse.wst.web.internal.operation.SimpleWebModuleCreationDataModelProvider org.eclipse.wst.web.internal.operation.StaticWebModuleCreationFacetOperation org.eclipse.wst.web.ui.internal.wizards.SimpleWebModuleCreationWizard org.eclipse.wst.web.ui.internal.wizards.SimpleWebModuleWizardBasePage The following classes will have methods/variables deleted: org.eclipse.jst.j2ee.datamodel.properties. IJ2EEModuleImportDataModelProperties EAR_COMPONENT_NAME ADD_TO_EAR org.eclipse.jst.j2ee.internal.archive.operations.ComponentSaveStrategyImpl.saveToOutputPathIFile(IPath projectRelativePath, InputStream in) org.eclipse.jst.j2ee.internal.archive.ComponentArchiveSaveAdapter.saveToOutputPathIFile(IPath projectRelativePath, InputStream in) org.eclipse.wst.common.componentcore.datamodel.properties.ICreateReferenceComponentsDataModelProperties TARGET_COMPONENT_ARCHIVE_NAME These classes and methods have been deprecated (with suggested replacements) since April 4, 2006. They were deprecated before WTP 1.5 was released, and as such, adopers have had WTP 1.5 through 1.5.5 and 2.0 through 2.0.2 to modify their code. Furthermore, the functionality of these classes has been questionable (most of them have been broken) since WTP 1.5. For reference, WTP's new API policy : http://wiki.eclipse.org/WTP_API_Policy And lastly, as per that policy, we will be deleting the above classes, methods, and statics as soon as the WTP 3.0 Integration build is declared on March 21, 2008. As such, the deletion will be rolled out to adopters in the March 28, 2008 WTP 3.0 Integration build.
