<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 &gt; Show View &gt; Other... &gt; API Tooling &gt; 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>
