| <h1>Api Tooling View</h1> |
| <p>The <strong>Api Tooling</strong> view shows all deltas found between a set of selected elements (project, source folders, |
| package fragments, or compilation units) and a reference baseline. The<strong>API Tooling </strong>view is available under <a class="command-link" href='javascript:executeCommand("org.eclipse.ui.views.showView(org.eclipse.ui.views.showView.viewId=org.eclipse.pde.api.tools.ui.views.apitooling.views.apitoolingview)")'> |
| <img src="PLUGINS_ROOT/org.eclipse.help/command_link.png" alt="Open API Tooling View"> |
| <strong>Window > Show View > Other... > API Tooling > API Tooling</strong> |
| </a>. </p> |
| <p><img src="../images/api_tooling.png" alt="API Tooling" ></p> |
| |
| <h2>Delta details</h2> |
| <p>The view itself is showing only the delta's localized message with an overlay image that tells whether the corresponding delta |
| is seen as a compatible (<img src="../images/success_ovr.gif" alt="compatible" >) or an incompatible |
| (<img src="../images/error_ovr.gif" alt="breaking" >) delta. |
| <br> |
| A double-click on a delta shows additional information inside the property view.</p> |
| <p>The additional information are:</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li>the component on which the delta is reported,</li> |
| <li>the element type,</li> |
| <li>the flags,</li> |
| <li>the key,</li> |
| <li>the kind,</li> |
| <li>the new modifiers,</li> |
| <li>the old modifiers,</li> |
| <li>the restrictions,</li> |
| <li>the type name,</li> |
| <li>the localized message.</li> |
| </ul> |
