| your 4.2 plug-in to adopt the 4.3 mechanisms and APIs. |

| <h2>1. <a name="2x-manifest">Ensure all plug-ins include an OSGi manifest</a></h2> |
| <p> |
| The Eclipse platform 4.3 release is the <b>final</b> release that will support |
| 2.x style Eclipse plug-ins with no OSGi manifest file (MANIFEST.MF). A warning |
| will now be logged when such plug-ins are encountered, with a log entry like this: |
| </p> |
| <pre> |
| The plugin "com.acme.ancient.plugin" with the version "1.0.1" is an old style Eclipse 2.0 |
| plugin with no OSGi bundle manifest. Support for Eclipse 2.0 style plugins will be removed in a future release. |
| </pre> |
| <p> |
| If you see such a log entry for your plug-in, you must migrate now. Migrate |
| by clicking the link in the plug-in manifest editor entitled, "create an OSGi bundle manifest." |
| For more details see <a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=407312">bug 407312</a>. |
