| <h3>API Changes</h3> |
| <ol> |
| <li> |
| <h4>API contract changes to IJavaReferenceType</h4> |
| </li> |
| <blockquote> |
| <h4><strong>What is affected:</strong> Clients that call <code>IJavaReferenceType.getClassLoaderObject()</code>.</h4> |
| <p><strong>Description:</strong> In Eclipse 3.1, the method <code>org.eclipse.jdt.debug.core.IJavaReferenceType.getClassLoaderObject()</code> |
| was added to <code>IJavaReferenceType</code>. The method was not specified |
| to return <code>null</code>, but could. In Eclipse 3.2, the specification |
| has been updated to indicate that <code>null</code> is a valid return value. |
| The behavior of the method has not changed, but callers should be aware |
| that <code>null</code> can be returned and should add appropriate checks.</p> |
| <p><strong>Action required:</strong> Clients calling <code>IJavaReferenceType.getClassLoaderObject()</code> |
| should be modified to handle <code>null</code> as a return value.</p> |
| </blockquote> |
| </ol> |
| <h3>Enhancements</h3> |
| <ol> |
| <li>Evaluations in the Java debugger are now supported in the context of array |
| objects. The user may select a variable in the Variables View that references |
| an array and enter an expression in the details area using <code>this</code> |
| to refer to the array - for example, <code>"this.length</code>". |
| Code assist also works for arrays. The API for evaluations has not changed |
| although the behavior has. In releases prior to 3.2, <code>IAstEvaluationEngine</code> |
| used to throw an exception when an evaluation was attempted for a receiver |
| object that was an array. In 3.2, the evaluation proceeds.</li> |
| <li>The UI for editing a JREs libraries has been improved. In 3.1 and earlier, |
| users were required to uncheck the button labelled '<code>Use default libraries</code>' |
| in order modify library settings. This button has been removed and the function |
| has been replaced with a '<code>Restore Defaults</code>' button, which is |
| a more common style in the Eclipse UI.</li> |
| </ol> |
