+ <h1>Eclipse CDT Deprecated and Breaking API changes and removals</h1>
+
+ <p>
+ Deprecated API can be marked for deletion without requiring a major version increment.
+ See the <a href="https://wiki.eclipse.org/CDT/policy">policy</a> for the details.
+ This section describes API removals that occurred in past releases, and upcoming removals in future releases.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ API Changes prior to CDT 10.0 / 2020-09.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Prior to CDT 10 release API changes were published as part of the <a
+ href="https://wiki.eclipse.org/CDT/User/NewInCDT">New and Noteworthy</a> entries for that release. From CDT 10
+ forward breaking API changes are included in this document.

+ <h2>API Changes in CDT 10.0.</h2>
+ <h3>1. <a name="java11">Eclipse CDT requires Java 11 as a minimum to build and run.</a></h3>
+ <p>
+ See <a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=562494" target="_blank">Bug 562494</a>.
+ </p>
+ <h3>2. <a name="internals">Previously exported packages that were not API are now correctly marked as such.</a></h3>
+ <p>
+ A review of the previously exported API of CDT was performed. A lot of what was previously marked as public API has
+ now been marked as internal. This means the API has either had <code>x-internal</code> or <code>x-friends</code>
+ added to the <code>Export-Package</code> declarations.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ The following bundles have had all their packages exported as internal See <a
+ href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=561389" target="_blank">Bug 561389</a>:
+ <ul>
+ <li>org.eclipse.cdt.cmake.ui</li>
+ <li>org.eclipse.cdt.autotools.core</li>
+ <li>org.eclipse.cdt.core.autotools.core</li>
+ <li>org.eclipse.cdt.core.autotools.ui</li>
+ <li>org.eclipse.cdt.autotools.tests</li>
+ <li>org.eclipse.cdt.autotools.ui.tests</li>
+ <li>org.eclipse.cdt.build.crossgcc</li>
+ <li>org.eclipse.cdt.cmake.ui</li>
+ <li>org.eclipse.cdt.build.gcc.core</li>
+ <li>org.eclipse.cdt.build.gcc.ui</li>
+ <li>org.eclipse.cdt.codan.checkers.ui.tests</li>
+ </ul>
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ The following bundles had additional changes made to be able to mark packages as internal:
+ <ul>
+ org.eclipse.cdt.cmake.ui: renamed package "org.eclipse.cdt.cmake.ui.properties"
+ to "org.eclipse.cdt.cmake.internal.ui.properties". See <a
+ href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=561390" target="_blank">Bug 561390</a>
+ </ul>
+ <ul>
+ org.eclipse.cdt.codan.checkers: marked package "org.eclipse.cdt.codan.checkers" as internal. See <a
+ href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=561582" target="_blank">Bug 561582</a>
+ </ul>
+ </p>
+
+ <h3>3. <a name="activators">Activators removed for all bundles where possible.</a></h3>
+ <p>
+ Where possible bundles have had their Activators removed. Some of these activators were API and are no longer
+ available. See <a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=561635" target="_blank">Bug 561635</a> for
+ workarounds where items that used to be in Activators are still needed, such as logging and plug-ids.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ The following Activators that were API have been removed.
+ <ul>
+ <li>(None have been removed yet.)</li>
+ </ul>
+ </p>
+
+ <h3>4. <a name="NewClassCreationWizardPage">NewClassCreationWizardPage breaking changes.</a></h3>
+ <p>
+ The NewClassCreationWizardPage has some API breaking changes due to how some protected fields, especially
+ <code>ALL_FIELDS</code> was used. While this breaks binary
+ compatibility, no code changes should be needed in extenders, just compiling against the new version. See <a
+ href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=510789" target="_blank">Bug 510789</a> and <a
+ href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=561770" target="_blank">Bug 561770</a>.
+ </p>
+
+ <hr>
+
+ <h2>Future Deletions</h2>
+ <p>
+ The items below can be removed after the given date or on the next major release, whichever is sooner. The details
+ and discussion on the removal happens in the Bugzilla associated with the entry below. See
+ the <a href="https://wiki.eclipse.org/CDT/policy">policy</a> for the details.
+ </p>
+
+ <h3>API Removals after June 2022</h3>
+
+ <h3>1. <a name="binaryparsers">Planned Removals after June 2022.</a></h3>
+ <p>
+ The following binary parser classes have replacements, mostly due to these versions not supporting 64-bit variants
+ of the binary files. The new 64-bit parsers support both 32 and 64 bit files.
