<h1>Eclipse 3.5 Debug Platform Build Notes</h1>
<h2>Summary of API changes in 3.5</h2>
<h3>Breakpoint Import Participants</h3>
The breakpoints framework has been further enhanced to support breakpoint import
participants, which allows contributors to participate in the importing process
for any given breakpoint type. Participants can contribute in the decision of whether
a breakpoint should be imported and in the verification process once a breakpoint has
been imported.
<p>The API to support this feature includes:</p>
<ul>
<li><b><code>org.eclipse.debug.breakpointImportParticipants</code> extension point</b>
- Allows a client to register their participant for a given breakpoint type.
</li>
<li><b><code>IBreakpointImportParticipant</code> interface</b>
- Required implementing interface for all participants.
</li>
<li><b><code>org.eclipse.debug.core.DebugPlugin#EXTENSION_POINT_BREAKPOINT_IMPORT_PARTICIPANTS</code> constant</b>
- Constant providing the id of the new extension point to clients.
</li>
<li><b><code>org.eclipse.debug.core.IBreakpointManager#getImportParticipants(id)</code></b>
- convenience method for getting all registered breakpoint participants for the given breakpoint
type id. If there are no matching participants a default participant will be returned.
</li>
</ul>
<h3>Breakpoints</h3>
The breakpoints framework has been enhanced to support different breakpoint
types to be created within the same part. This effectively allows different
debuggers to share a common editor and views where breakpoints are created.
Debuggers can also use this mechanism to let users quickly change what
breakpoint type is created by default (e.g.: software, hardware,
thread-filtered, etc.).
<p>The API to support this feature includes: </p>
<ul>
<li><b><code>org.eclipse.debug.ui.toggleBreakpointsTargetFactories</code>
extension point</b> - Allows a debugger to register a factory of
<code>IToggleBreakpointsTarget</code> adapters, which are used by toggle
breakpoint actions to create breakpoints.
</li>
<li><b><code>IToggleBreakpointsTargetFactory</code> interface</b> - Factory API
for IToggleBreakpointTarget adapters to be implemented by debuggers.
</li>
<li><b><code>RulerBreakpointTypesActionDelegate</code> action</b> - Editor gutter
action to select the active breakpoint types.
</li>
</ul>
<h3>ILaunchConfiguration.getLocation() can return null</h3>
<p><strong>What is affected:</strong> Clients that call ILaunchConfiguration.getLocation()</p>
<p><strong>Description:</strong> In release 3.4 and earlier, ILaunchConfiguration.getLocation() was not specified
to return <code>null</code>. Since 3.5, launch configuration infrastructure has been enhanced to support storage
on external file systems (EFS). The #getLocation() method returns a location in the local file system - however, since
an external file system may not map to a local location, <code>null</code> can now be returned. </p>
<p><strong>Action required:</strong> Clients that call ILaunchConfiguration.getLocation() should update
code to handle a <code>null</code> result. The #getLocation() method has been deprecated since the return
value is no longer reliable.</p>
<h3>Access to current source lookup participant</h3>
<p><strong>What is affected:</strong> Method addition: AbstractSourceLookupDirector#getCurrentParticipant() </p>
<p><strong>Description:</strong> Since 3.5, the AbstractSourceLookupDirector provides access to the ISourceLookupParticipant currently looking up source via the new method #getCurrentParticipant(). The implementation of AbstractSourceContainer has been enhanced to ask the current participant if duplicate source files should be found when looking up source. To maintain backwards compatibility, the participant delegates whether duplicates should be found to the source lookup director. A custom implementation of a source lookup participant could override the default behavior to control whether duplicate source files should be found. </p>
<p><strong>Action required:</strong> This is a backwards compatible change. No action required. </p>
<h3>debugContext evaluation variable</h3>
<p><strong>What is affected:</strong>
<ul>
<li>Evaluation service variable addition: <code>debugContext</code> </li>
<li>Method addition: <code>DebugUITools.getDebugContextForEvent(EvalutationEvent)</code> </li>
<li>Method addition: <code>DebugUITools.getDebugContextForEventChecked(EvalutationEvent)</code> </li>
<li>Constant addition: <code>IDebugUIConstants.DEBUG_CONTEXT_SOURCE_NAME</code></li>
</ul>
</p>
<p><strong>Description:</strong>The command framework allows menu and toolbar items to be controlled using powerful standard expressions. However many debugger related commands require access to the current debug context in order to properly evaluate their enabled or visible state. This addition allows command handlers and their expressions to use the <code>debugContext</code> variable to access the current debug context applicable to the given handler.</p>
<p><strong>Action required:</strong> This is a backwards compatible change. No action required. </p>
<h3>Detail pane selection provider</h3>
<p><strong>What is affected:</strong>
<ul>
<li>Interface addition: <code>IDetailPane2</code> </li>
<li>Interface addition: <code>IDetailPaneContainer2</code> </li>
</ul>
</p>
<p><strong>Description:</strong>The original detail pane design does not allow a detail pane implementation to properly supply a selection provider for a view (see <a href="http://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=254442">bug 254442</a>). These addition allows a detail pane to overcome this limitation.</p>
<p><strong>Action required:</strong>This is a backwards compatible change, so no action is required. However, detail pane implementations which need to drive the active view selection, should implement the new <code>IDetailPane2</code> interface.</p>
