| <h2>1. <a name="#jls4">AST.JLS4 for Java 7 constructs in 3.7.1</a></h2> |
| <p> |
| A new AST level <code>org.eclipse.jdt.core.dom.AST#JLS4</code> has been added for Java 7 language changes. |
| Clients of previous AST levels are recommended to adopt the new AST level and add support for the new constructs |
| (<code>UnionType</code>, <code>TryStatement#resources() / #RESOURCES_PROPERTY</code>). |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| <code>org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.ReconcileContext#getAST4()</code> should be used were possible. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| <code>org.eclipse.jdt.ui.SharedASTProvider#getAST(..)</code> now returns a JLS4 AST. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| Note that these changes only affect Eclipse 3.7.1 and 3.8. They are not present in 3.7. |
