| <h1>Incompatibilities between Eclipse JDT 3.2 and 3.3</h1> |
| |
| <p> Eclipse changed in incompatible ways between 3.2 and 3.3 in ways that affect |
| plug-ins. The following entries describe the areas that changed and provide |
| instructions for migrating 3.2 plug-ins to 3.3. Note that you only need to look |
| here if you are experiencing problems running your 3.2 plug-in on 3.3.</p> |

| <h2>1. <a name="IClassFile"></a>API contract changes to IClassFile</h2> |
| <p><strong>What is affected:</strong> Clients that call <code>IClassFile.getType()</code>.</p> |
| <p><strong>Description:</strong> In Eclipse 3.2, the method <code>org.eclipse.jdt.core.IClassFile.getType()</code> |
| threw a <code>org.eclipse.jdt.core.JavaModelException</code>. This is no longer the case in Eclipse 3.3! |
| <i>Note that this change has no impact on binary compatibility</i>.</p> |
| <p><strong>Action required:</strong> Clients calling <code>IClassFile.getType()</code> |
| will have to fix possible <strong>'Unreachable catch block for JavaModelException'</strong> compile errors |
| (only if this call is the only one throwing a <code>JavaModelException</code> in the try block). |
| They also should verify for methods calling this API and throwing a <code>JavaModelException</code> |
| that they still need to throw this exception.</p> |
