What's new in this drop

 Due to an implementation cleanup, the optional diagnosis for unnecessary empty statement or empty control-flow
statement, will be reverted to ignore by default. If you did set it differently in the past, you will have to manually
set it back. We now conform to the spec for this option (until JDT/UI converted, the old option ID was 
incorrectly used: "org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.problem.superfluousSemicolon"):
* COMPILER / Reporting Empty Statements and Unnecessary Semicolons
*    When enabled, the compiler will issue an error or a warning if an empty statement or a
*    unnecessary semicolon is encountered.
*     - option id:         "org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.problem.emptyStatement"
*     - possible values:   { "error", "warning", "ignore" }
*     - default:           "ignore"

Added API to register/deregister a pre-processing resource change listener:
/**
 * Adds the given listener for POST_CHANGE resource change events to the Java core. 
 * The listener is guarantied to be notified of the POST_CHANGE resource change event before
 * the Java core starts processing the resource change event itself.
 * 
 * Has no effect if an identical listener is already registered.
 * 
 * @param listener the listener
 * @see #removePreResourceChangeListener(IResourceChangeListener)

 *
 * Has no effect if an identical listener is not registered.
 *
 * @param listener the listener
 * @since 3.0
 */
public static void removePreProcessingResourceChangedListener(IResourceChangeListener listener);


When diagnostic for unnecessary semicolon is enabled, the compiler will also flag empty
control-flow statement: e.g. if (bool);.  Note that the naming of the option is going soon
to be revised to better reflect this evolution.
Empty control-flow statement problem ID is: IProblem.EmptyControlFlowStatement.

Added compiler style option to report situation where a statement is unnecessarily nested
in else clause, e.g.: 
 if (bool) 
   return;
 else
   System.out.println();   // no need to be inside else
    
Associated problem ID is: IProblem.UnnecessaryElse.
* COMPILER / Reporting Unnecessary Else
*    When enabled, the compiler will issue an error or a warning when a statement is unnecessarily
*    nested within an else clause (in situation where then clause is not completing normally).
*     - option id:         "org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.problem.unnecessaryElse"
*     - possible values:   { "error", "warning", "ignore" }
*     - default:           "ignore"

Added API for User Library Container support in JavaCore:

/**
 * Name of the User Library Container id.
 */
public static final String USER_LIBRARY_CONTAINER_ID= "org.eclipse.jdt.USER_LIBRARY"; //$NON-NLS-1$

/**
 * Returns the names of all defined user libraries. The corresponding classpath container path
 * is the name appended to the USER_LIBRARY_CONTAINER_ID.  
 * @return Return an array containing the names of all known user defined.
 */
public static String[] getUserLibraryNames();


Added API to get classpath container comparison ID in ClasspathContainerInitializer:
/**
 * Returns an object which identifies a container for comparison purpose. This allows
 * to eliminate redundant containers when accumulating classpath entries (e.g. 
 * runtime classpath computation). When requesting a container comparison ID, one
 * should ensure using its corresponding container initializer. Indeed, a random container
 * initializer cannot be held responsible for determining comparison IDs for arbitrary 
 * containers.
 * 
 * @param containerPath the path of the container which is being checked
 * @param project the project for which the container is to being checked
 * @return returns an Object identifying the container for comparison
 * @since 3.0
 */
public Object getComparisonID(IPath containerPath, IJavaProject project);

By default, containers are identical if they have same container path first segment
but this may be refined by other container initializer implementations.


For example, the User Library classpath container initializer added for User Library Container API
implementation (UserLibraryClasspathContainerInitializer) refines the comparison ID to the entire container path.

What's new in this drop
 
 Added rewriting support to DOM AST.
There are two set of API to perform rewriting.
 
An AST-modifying rewrite API

To use the AST-modifying rewrite the client must create an AST from an existing
compilation unit (ASTParser#createAST(...)).
Then the client need to start the record process of the AST changes (CompilationUnit#recordModifications())
and modify the AST after. When modifications are done, the client can call a method to
compute a text edit tree containing all the text changes (CompilationUnit#rewrite()).

CompilationUnit
	public void recordModifications()
	public TextEdit rewrite(IDocument document, Map options) throws RewriteException


A describing rewrite API

To use the describing AST rewrite, the client starts with creating an instance of NewASTRewrite. Then the client
must not modify the AST directly but use NewASTRewrite instead. When modifications are done, the client can call
a method to compute a text edit tree containing all the text changes (NewASTRewrite#rewrite()).
NewASTRewrite
	public final void markAsRemoved(ASTNode node, TextEditGroup editGroup)
	public final void markAsReplaced(ASTNode node, ASTNode replacingNode, TextEditGroup editGroup)
	public ListRewriter getListRewrite(ASTNode parent, ChildListPropertyDescriptor childProperty)
	public TextEdit rewriteAST(IDocument document, Map options) throws RewriteException
	...
	
ListRewriter
	remove(ASTNode, TextEditGroup)
	public void replace(ASTNode, ASTNode, TextEditGroup)
	public void insertAfter(ASTNode, ASTNode, TextEditGroup)
	public void insertBefore(ASTNode, ASTNode, TextEditGroup)
	public void insertFirst(ASTNode, TextEditGroup)
	public void insertLast(ASTNode, TextEditGroup)
	public void insertAt(ASTNode, int, TextEditGroup)
	...

Project org.eclipse.jdt.core v_412
(cvs).

What's new in this drop

 Added new global JavaCore.COMPILER_DOC_COMMENT_SUPPORT option for doc comment (Javadoc) support. By default, this option is enabled for backward compatibility.
 * COMPILER / Javadoc Comment Support
 *    When this support is disabled, the compiler will ignore all javadoc problems options settings
 *    and will not report any javadoc problem. It will also not find any reference in javadoc comment and
 *    DOM AST Javadoc node will be only a flat text instead of having structured tag elements.
 *     - option id:         "org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.doc.comment.support"
 *     - possible values:   { "enabled", "disabled" }
 *     - default:           "enabled"

See bug 52264.

 Added new JavaCore.COMPILER_CODEGEN_INLINE_JSR_BYTECODE option to allow user to inline subroutine code instead of generating JSR instructions. By default, this option is disabled.
 * COMPILER / Inline JSR Bytecode Instruction
 *    When enabled, the compiler will no longer generate JSR instructions, but rather inline corresponding
 *    subroutine code sequences (mostly corresponding to try finally blocks). The generated code will thus
 *    get bigger, but will load faster on virtual machines since the verification process is then much simpler. 
 *    This mode is anticipating support for the Java Specification Request 202.
 *     - option id:         "org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.codegen.inlineJsrBytecode"
 *     - possible values:   { "enabled", "disabled" }
 *     - default:           "disabled"
 * 

Corresponding command line compiler option -noJSR has been renamed to:
    -inlineJSR : inline JSR bytecode

which means that when specified, the compiler will no longer generate JSR bytecodes, but instead inlining the corresponding subroutine (e.g. finally block).

getCommentList(): Returns a list of the comments encountered while parsing the compilation unit.
getExtendedStartPosition(ASTNode): Returns the extended start position of the given node.
getExtendedLength(ASTNode): Returns the extended source length of the given node.

Unlike ASTNode#getStartPosition() and ASTNode#getLength(), the extended source range may include
comments and whitespace immediately before or after the normal source range for the node.


See bug 53445 for more details on heuristic to find leading and trailing comments.

Improve DOM/AST support for doc comments.

Following changes have been made to the DOM/AST API:

added Javadoc.tags() to represent structure of the doc comments
deprecated Javadoc.get/setComment
added 5 new node types that occur only within doc comments: TagElement, TextElement, MemberRef, MethodRef, MethodRefParameter
tag elements like MemberRef, MethodRef, and Name can carry binding information (must be requested like elsewhere)
added ASTVisitor(boolean) for controlling whether Javadoc.tags() are visited by default
added ASTMatcher(boolean) for controlling whether Javadoc.tags() are compared vs. only Javadoc.getComment()
AST.parse*(...) now returns structured doc comments (for compatibility, Javadoc.getComment() is also set as before)

See bugs 50683.


Improve DOM/AST support for locating all comments.

Following changes have been made to the DOM/AST API:

added CompilationUnit.getCommentTable() to record locations of all comments found in the source
added 2 new node types, LineComment and BlockComment, to represent end-of-line and traditional comments respectively
these new nodes are placeholders for comments
these new node types only occur in the comment table (since they can occur anywhere (lexically), there is no way to properly parent them in the regular AST nodes that reflects their position)
AST.parse*(...) now returns sets the comment table on the compilation unit to include all comments (including attached and free-floating doc comments)

See bug 50697.

 Added option to control whether diagnosis for unused thrown exceptions should be enabled when overriding another
method. By default, it is disabled.
* COMPILER / Reporting Unused Declared Thrown Exception in Overridind Method
*    When disabled, the compiler will not include overriding methods in its diagnosis for unused declared

What's new in this drop

Major renaming of constants in the code formatter. See org.eclipse.jdt.core.formatter.DefaultCodeFormatterConstants. See bug 49908.
The old constants have been deprecated and will be removed before M7. So we encourage you to save your code formatter preferences if
you modified the default settings. The UI will provide an automatic conversion to the new options.

Added API for alignment options in the code formatter.  See org.eclipse.jdt.core.formatter.DefaultCodeFormatterConstants. See bug 49968.

Changed 3.0 APIs on org.eclipse.jdt.core.dom.AST to take an IProgressMonitor. This progress monitor is checked for the cancelation of the AST creation only.

Added API on org.eclipse.jdt.core.dom.AST to parse an expression or statements or class body declarations without requiring the parsing
of the whole compilation unit. This is still subject to change before 3.0.
	/**
	 * Parses the given source between the bounds specified by the given offset (inclusive)
	 * and the given length and creates and returns a corresponding abstract syntax tree.
	 * 
	 * The root node of the new AST depends on the given kind.
	 * - org.eclipse.jdt.core.dom.AST.K_CLASS_BODY_DECLARATIONS: The root node is an instance of
	 * org.eclipse.jdt.core.dom.TypeDeclaration. The type declaration itself doesn't contain any information.
	 * It is simply used to return all class body declarations inside the bodyDeclaratins() collection.
	 * - org.eclipse.jdt.core.dom.AST.K_STATEMENTS: The root node is an instance of
	 * org.eclipse.jdt.core.dom.Block. The block itself doesn't contain any information.
	 * It is simply used to return all the statements.
	 * - org.eclipse.jdt.core.dom.AST.K_EXPRESSION: The root node is an instance of a subclass of
	 * org.eclipse.jdt.core.dom.Expression.
	 *  
	 * Each node in the subtree carries source range(s) information relating back
	 * to positions in the given source (the given source itself
	 * is not remembered with the AST). 
	 * The source range usually begins at the first character of the first token 
	 * corresponding to the node; leading whitespace and comments are not
	 * included. The source range usually extends through the last character of
	 * the last token corresponding to the node; trailing whitespace and
	 * comments are not included. There are a handful of exceptions
	 * (including compilation units and the various body declarations); the
	 * specification for these node type spells out the details.
	 * Source ranges nest properly: the source range for a child is always
	 * within the source range of its parent, and the source ranges of sibling
	 * nodes never overlap.
	 * 
	 * This method does not compute binding information; all resolveBinding
	 * methods applied to nodes of the resulting AST return null.
	 * 
	 * null is returned:
	 * 1. If a syntax error is detected while parsing,
	 * 2. If the given source doesn't correspond to the given kind.

Added API on org.eclipse.jdt.core.dom.AST to parse a compilation unit and specify
the set of options to use. This is still subject to change before 3.0. The previous API was directly
using JavaCore.getOptions(). This could be problematic in case you want to parse assert
statements.
	/**
	 * Parses the given string as a Java compilation unit and creates and 
	 * returns a corresponding abstract syntax tree.
	 * 
	 * The given options are used to find out the compiler options to use while parsing.

	 * methods for further details.
	 * 
	 * 
	 * The returned compilation unit node is the root node of a new AST.
	 * Each node in the subtree carries source range(s) information relating back
	 * to positions in the given source string (the given source string itself
	 * is not remembered with the AST). 
	 * The source range usually begins at the first character of the first token 
	 * corresponding to the node; leading whitespace and comments are not

	 * This method does not compute binding information; all resolveBinding
	 * methods applied to nodes of the resulting AST return null.

What's new in this drop

Added API to get the scheduling rule for a Java element:
	/**
	 * Returns the scheduling rule associated with this Java element.
	 * This is a handle-only method.
	 * 
	 * @return the scheduling rule associated with this Java element
	 * @since 3.0
	 */
	ISchedulingRule getSchedulingRule();


Code formatter: If you did change the value of the setting controlling the insertion of a white space between empty arguments of a method declaration,
then you have to change it again. Indeed, a spelling mistake has been fixed in the constant name. See bug 49530.
Inline tags are now supported in Javadoc comments:
{@link} and {@linkplain} tags are now parsed using same rules as for @see tag. See bug 48385.

Because references declared in these tags should be now found during search operation,  the index format had to be changed. Indexes will be automatically regenerated upon subsequent search queries (accounting for indexing notification in search progress dialogs).
{@inheritDoc} tag is now parsed. When this tag is present in a method javadoc comment, all missing tags errors are ignored.
See bug 45782.

 Added option to avoid reporting a warning when overriding a deprecated method. By default, such
warnings are no longer reported.
 * COMPILER / Reporting Deprecation When Overriding Deprecated Method
 *    When enabled, the compiler will signal the declaration of a method overriding a deprecated one.
 *    The severity of the problem is controlled with option "org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.problem.deprecation".
 *     - option id:        "org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.problem.deprecationWhenOverridingDeprecatedMethod"
 *     - possible values:   { "enabled", "disabled" }
 *     - default:           "disabled"
	 
Compiler options to signal problems with javadoc comments have been improved. User can now decide to report
independently problems on invalid tags (syntax and references), missing tags and missing comments.
Invalid references, missing tags or missing comments problem can be now ignored below a specific visibility level.
Finally, user will also have the possibility to ignore missing tags and missing comments on overriding methods
(assuming that complete Javadoc comments is done in superclass or interface declaration).


Here's the complete list of these options:
	 * COMPILER / Reporting Invalid Javadoc Comment
	 *    This is the generic control for the severity of Javadoc problems.
	 *    When enabled, the compiler will issue an error or a warning for a problem in Javadoc.
	 *     - option id:         "org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.problem.invalidJavadoc"
	 *     - possible values:   { "error", "warning", "ignore" }
	 *     - default:           "ignore"
	 *
	 * COMPILER / Visibility Level For Invalid Javadoc Tags
	 *    Set the minimum visibility level for Javadoc tag problems. Below this level problems will be ignored.
	 *     - option id:         "org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.problem.invalidJavadocTagsVisibility"
	 *     - possible values:   { "public", "protected", "default", "private" }
	 *     - default:           "private"
	 * 
	 * COMPILER / Reporting Invalid Javadoc Tags
	 *    When enabled, the compiler will signal unbound or unexpected reference tags in Javadoc.
	 *    A 'throws' tag referencing an undeclared exception would be considered as unexpected.
	 *    
Note that this diagnosis can be enabled based on the visibility of the construct associated with the Javadoc;
	 *    also see the setting "org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.problem.invalidJavadocTagsVisibility".
	 *    

	 *    The severity of the problem is controlled with option "org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.problem.invalidJavadoc".
	 *     - option id:         "org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.problem.invalidJavadocTags"
	 *     - possible values:   { "disabled", "enabled" }
	 *     - default:           "enabled"
	 * 
	 * COMPILER / Reporting Missing Javadoc Tags
	 *    This is the generic control for the severity of Javadoc missing tag problems.
	 *    When enabled, the compiler will issue an error or a warning when tags are missing in Javadoc comments.
	 *    
Note that this diagnosis can be enabled based on the visibility of the construct associated with the Javadoc;
	 *    also see the setting "org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.problem.missingJavadocTagsVisibility".

	 *     - default:           "ignore"
	 * 
	 * COMPILER / Visibility Level For Missing Javadoc Tags
	 *    Set the minimum visibility level for Javadoc missing tag problems. Below this level problems will be ignored.
	 *     - option id:         "org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.problem.missingJavadocTagsVisibility"
	 *     - possible values:   { "public", "protected", "default", "private" }
	 *     - default:           "private"
	 * 
	 * COMPILER / Reporting Missing Javadoc Tags on Overriding Methods
	 *    Specify whether the compiler will verify overriding methods in order to report Javadoc missing tag problems.
	 *     - option id:         "org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.problem.missingJavadocTagsOverriding"
	 *     - possible values:   { "enabled", "disabled" }
	 *     - default:           "enabled"
	 * 
	 * COMPILER / Reporting Missing Javadoc Comments
	 *    This is the generic control for the severity of missing Javadoc comment problems.
	 *    When enabled, the compiler will issue an error or a warning when Javadoc comments are missing.
	 *    
Note that this diagnosis can be enabled based on the visibility of the construct associated with the expected Javadoc;
	 *    also see the setting "org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.problem.missingJavadocCommentsVisibility".
	 *    

	 *     - option id:         "org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.problem.missingJavadocComments"
	 *     - possible values:   { "error", "warning", "ignore" }
	 *     - default:           "ignore"
	 * 
	 * COMPILER / Visibility Level For Missing Javadoc Comments
	 *    Set the minimum visibility level for missing Javadoc problems. Below this level problems will be ignored.
	 *     - option id:         "org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.problem.missingJavadocCommentsVisibility"
	 *     - possible values:   { "public", "protected", "default", "private" }
	 *     - default:           "public"
	 * 
	 * COMPILER / Reporting Missing Javadoc Comments on Overriding Methods
	 *    Specify whether the compiler will verify overriding methods in order to report missing Javadoc comment problems.
	 *     - option id:         "org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.problem.missingJavadocCommentsOverriding"
	 *     - possible values:   { "enabled", "disabled" }
	 *     - default:           "enabled"
	 * 

Note that backward compatibility with previous options IDs: "org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.problem.missingJavadoc"
will be supported until 3.0M7 build and removed after.

To avoid confusion with annotations introduced in JDK 1.5 grammar, all internal references to "annotation" (added to handle Javadoc comments) 
got renamed into "Javadoc". As a consequence of this is that IDs for optional Javadoc problems have been updated accordingly:
	 * COMPILER / Reporting Invalid Javadoc Comment
	 *    When enabled, the compiler will issue an error or a warning when a javadoc comment is inconsistent,
	 *    misses a tag entry or contains invalid references.
	 *     - option id:         "org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.problem.invalidJavadoc"
	 *     - possible values:   { "error", "warning", "ignore" }
	 *     - default:           "ignore"
	 * COMPILER / Reporting Missing Javadoc Comment
	 *    When enabled, the compiler will signal cases where public class, interface, method, constructor or field
	 *    (considered as part of the API) has no javadoc comment.
	 *    The severity of the problem is controlled with option "org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.problem.invalidJavadoc".
	 *     - option id:         "org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.problem.missingJavadoc"
	 *     - possible values:   { "enabled", "disabled" }
	 *     - default:           "disabled"

Note that backward compatibility with previous options IDs: "org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.problem.invalidAnnotation" and "org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.problem.missingAnnotation"
will be supported until 3.0M6 build and removed after.

Search is now able to find local variable references and declarations. In order to trigger such a search, the search engine must
	be fed with an ILocalVariable element. Searching a local variable by its name is not supported.

Search is now finding references in Javadoc comments. Found references are method parameters declared in @param tags, 
	types of exceptions declared in @throws/@exception tags and all instance variables, methods, types or 
	packages declared in @see tags.
	
Note that only valid references in Javadoc comments will be reported during search. In order to ensure the integrity of your Javadoc comments,
	you may want to enable the compiler check for Javadoc (Preferences>Java>Compiler>Style>Problem in Javadoc tags).

What's new in this drop

 Compiler options for controlling the severity of problems for invalid imports or unreachable code got discontinued. Indeed, allowing this kind of problems to be ignored
or treated as a warning would violate the language spec. As a consequence, JavaCore#COMPILER_PB_INVALID_IMPORT and
JavaCore#COMPILER_PB_UNREACHABLE_CODE got deprecated, 
further attempts to set these preferences are now ignored and import problems or unreachable code are always reported as errors.
 The warning level of the batch compiler can now be configured more easily using -warn:+... or -warn:-... command line
argument (as opposed to only existing -warn:... command line argument). 
-warn:+... will not override the default warning level, but simply enable
a few more specific warnings. Similarily, -warn:-... will only disable specific warnings.

Note, by default the batch compiler is reporting the following warnings:
	

	
'assert' used as identifier
	
char[] in String concat
	
method with constructor name
	
deprecation outside deprecated code
	
finally block not completing normally
	
interface non-inherited method compatibility
	
hidden catch block
	
assignment without effect
	
attempt to override package-default method
	
unused import declaration
	
non-static reference to static member
	

Code select (i.e. ICodeAssit.codeSelect(...)) now returns an ILocalVariable
     element when a local variable or an argument is selected. 
     
Note that ILocalVariables are pseudo-elements:
     they are not part of the Java model (exists() always returns false), 
     they are not returned when asking for the children of a method, and there is no other way to create such
     an element. One can only ask for the source range (ISourceReference.getSourceRange()) or
     for the name range (ILocalVariable.getNameRange()) of the local variable.
     
Searching a local variable is not yet implemented, but it is on the plan.

 As a consequence of migrating to background autobuild, the JavaModel will no longer broadcast deltas
during PRE_AUTO_BUILD event notification. These were somewhat inconsistent in so far as the model wasn't
totally up to date anyway. Now the model will only fire deltas during POST_CHANGE, or working copy reconcile
operations.

Part of the new support for local and anonymous types in the Java model has been released. 
	

	This includes:
	

	
local and anonymous types are shown in the Outline view and the Package Explorer view
	
Java element deltas for these types are notified
	
handles on these types can be created (see IMember.getType(String, int))
	
getChildren() on a method, a field or an initializer returns the local or anonymous types defined in this element
	
mementos for these handles are supported
	
open on selection (F3) in a Java editor goes to the local type definition
	
type hierarchies contain anonymous and local types
	
	

	This doesn't yet include:
	

	
search on these types

Added optional compiler problem to signal unqualified access to a non-static field. In order to improve
code readability, qualifying field accesses is a simple way to syntactically distinguish a field access from 
a local variable access, and thus avoid resorting to a special naming convention for fields (such as "fField").
* COMPILER / Reporting Unqualified Access to Field
*    When enabled, the compiler will issue an error or a warning when a field is access without any qualification.
*    In order to improve code readability, it should be qualified, e.g. 'x' should rather be written 'this.x'.
*     - option id:         "org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.problem.unqualifiedFieldAccess"
*     - possible values:   { "error", "warning", "ignore" }
*     - default:           "ignore"


Added optional compiler problem to signal method/constructor declared thrown checked exception which
aren't actually raised inside the method/constructor body.
* COMPILER / Reporting Unused Declared Thrown Exception
*    When enabled, the compiler will issue an error or a warning when a method or a constructor is declaring a
*    thrown checked exception, but never actually raises it in its body.
*     - option id:         "org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.problem.unusedDeclaredThrownException"
*     - possible values:   { "error", "warning", "ignore" }
*     - default:           "ignore"


Added optional compiler problem to flag situations where a finally block does not complete normally.
* COMPILER / Reporting Finally Blocks Not Completing Normally
*    When enabled, the compiler will issue an error or a warning when a finally block does not complete normally.
*     - option id:         "org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.problem.finallyBlockNotCompletingNormally"
*     - possible values:   { "error", "warning", "ignore" }
*     - default:           "warning"


Improved problem description for unreachable catch block problems. Message will now mention the exception type 
name and better diagnose the cause of the problem. Also changed problem source range 
to rather highlight the caught exception type instead of entire catch block. 


Added two new API methods readRawClasspath() and readOutputLocation() on IJavaProject
interface so as to allow user to read classpath directly from disk (.classpath file contents). This is useful to configure
a Java project before it is associated with the Java nature, or before the automatic classpath reconciliation mechanism has performed (within
a resource modifying operation, and prior to the change notification). Note that these API additions are obsoleting the previously
added API IJavaProject#forceClasspathReload(IProgressMonitor) (also see bug 20931)
which has thus been deprecated. Forcing the classpath reload can simply be achieved by: p.setRawClasspath(p.readRawClasspath(), p.readOutputLocation(), ...).

What's new in this drop

In 1.4 mode, the compiler is now JCK 1.4a compliant (previously was passing JCK1.4).

To reduce the memory consumption and improve performance, the following new APIs were added:

AST.parsePartialCompilationUnit(ICompilationUnit unit, int position, boolean resolveBindings)
AST.parsePartialCompilationUnit(ICompilationUnit unit, int position, boolean resolveBindings, WorkingCopyOwner owner)

Eclipse SDK 3.0M2 Build - 1st July 2003 

Project org.eclipse.jdt.core v_360
(cvs).

What's new in this drop

 Plugin version ID got incremented to 3.0.0. 

 Removed tolerance for relative source attachments in JavaCore.newLibraryEntry(...). Only
allowing relative empty pathes so as to permit using classpath variables to denote the absence of a source attachment.
To finish closing the gap between compilation units and working copies 
(see bug 36888), new APIs were added to generalize
the usage of a working copy owner (entire JavaModel is now aware of owned working copies). These new APIs are copies of existing APIs augmented with
a WorkingCopyOwner parameter, that defines the working copies to consider in the operation. 
When specifying an owner parameter, all working copies belonging to this owner will implicitly take precedence over primary ones
(without requiring the owner to remember all its working copies, as in 2.1 era). Note that when no owned working copy is found, a primary
unit will be considered instead, and since primary units have a built-in working copy (see ICompilationUnit.becomeWorkingCopy(...)),
the primary unit may already be in working copy mode (very likely since an editor got opened on it). This means that an owner will already 
transparently see unsaved editor contents for all units for which it has no better working copy to contribute.
The following new APIs were added:
	

	
AST.parseCompilationUnit(char[] source, String unitName, IJavaProject project, WorkingCopyOwner owner)
	
AST.parseCompilationUnit(IClassFile classFile, boolean resolveBindings, WorkingCopyOwner owner)
	
AST.parseCompilationUnit(ICompilationUnit unit, boolean resolveBindings, WorkingCopyOwner owner)
	
IEvaluationContext.codeComplete(String codeSnippet, int position, ICompletionRequestor requestor, WorkingCopyOwner owner)
	
IEvaluationContext.codeSelect(String codeSnippet, int offset, int length, WorkingCopyOwner owner)

ICodeAssist.codeComplete(int offset, ICompletionRequestor requestor, WorkingCopyOwner owner)
	
ICodeAssist.codeSelect(int offset, int length, WorkingCopyOwner owner)
	
ICompilationUnit.reconcile(boolean forceProblemDetection, WorkingCopyOwner owner, IProgressMonitor monitor)
	
IJavaProject.findElement(IPath path, WorkingCopyOwner owner)
	
IJavaProject.findType(String packageName, String typeQualifiedName, WorkingCopyOwner owner)
	
IJavaProject.findType(String fullyQualifiedName, WorkingCopyOwner owner)
	
IJavaProject.newTypeHierarchy(IRegion region, WorkingCopyOwner owner, IProgressMonitor monitor)
	
IJavaProject.newTypeHierarchy(IType type, IRegion region, WorkingCopyOwner owner, IProgressMonitor monitor)
	
IPackageFragment.getCompilationUnit(String name, WorkingCopyOwner owner)
	
IPackageFragment.getCompilationUnits(WorkingCopyOwner owner)
	
IType.codeComplete(char[] snippet, int insertion, int position, char[][] localVariableTypeNames, char[][] localVariableNames, int[] localVariableModifiers, boolean isStatic, ICompletionRequestor requestor, WorkingCopyOwner owner)

IType.newTypeHierarchy(IJavaProject project, WorkingCopyOwner owner, IProgressMonitor monitor)
	
IType.newTypeHierarchy(WorkingCopyOwner owner, IProgressMonitor monitor)

 Added optional problem to signal superfluous semicolons (matching problem ID is IProblem.SuperfluousSemicolon).
* COMPILER / Reporting Superfluous Semicolon
*    When enabled, the compiler will issue an error or a warning if a superfluous semicolon is met.
*     - option id:         "org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.problem.superfluousSemicolon"
*     - possible values:   { "error", "warning", "ignore" }
*     - default:           "ignore"

NOTE: This version got backed out due to severe regression
(see 38951 NPE in editor while saving contents).
Until subsequent version is made available (see above), integration builds will revert to previous version (v_357).


What's new in this drop

JavaCore.newLibraryEntry(...) will now allow an empty source attachment (new Path("")) to
be equivalent to no source attachment (i.e. null). This adjustment is made necessary for
library entries generated from classpath variables which cannot be set to null. Also see 
bug 38531.
* @param sourceAttachmentPath the absolute path of the corresponding source archive or folder, 
*    or null if none. Note, since 3.0, an empty path is allowed to denote no source attachment.
*   and will be automatically converted to null.


Added API IJavaProject#forceClasspathReload(IProgressMonitor) to force reload of .classpath file
before next automatic update occurs.
/**
 * Force the project to reload its .classpath file from disk and update the classpath accordingly.
 * Usually, a change to the .classpath file is automatically noticed and reconciled at the next 
 * resource change notification event. If required to consider such a change prior to the next automatic
 * refresh, then this functionnality should be used to trigger a refresh. In particular, if a change to the file is performed,
 * during an operation where this change needs to be reflected before the operation ends, then an explicit refresh is
 * necessary.
 * 
 * @param monitor a progress monitor for reporting operation progress
 * @exception JavaModelException if the classpath could not be updated. Reasons
 * include:
 *  - This Java element does not exist (ELEMENT_DOES_NOT_EXIST)
 *  - Two or more entries specify source roots with the same or overlapping paths (NAME_COLLISION)
 *  - A entry of kind CPE_PROJECT refers to this project (INVALID_PATH)
 *  - This Java element does not exist (ELEMENT_DOES_NOT_EXIST)
 *  - The output location path refers to a location not contained in this project (PATH_OUTSIDE_PROJECT)
 *  - The output location path is not an absolute path (RELATIVE_PATH)
 *  - The output location path is nested inside a package fragment root of this project (INVALID_PATH)
 *  - The classpath is being modified during resource change event notification (CORE_EXCEPTION)
 * @since 3.0

 * will bring the underlying resource in sync with this compilation unit.
 *

Fix for bug 37111 may issue some outgoing changes
to .classpath file since the source attachment will be shortened into a project relative path when applicable. The .classpath file
is still backward compatible, and will continue to accept non relative source attachments as well. 


Problem Reports Fixed
37111
classpath file - java source attachment shouldn't hardcode project name

38143
this = null; should raise compile time error

38124
Brackets around cast accepted by Eclipse but not javac

Project org.eclipse.jdt.core v_354
(cvs).

What's new in this drop

Added JavaCore optional problem to detect incompatible required binaries, so as to flag situations where
some prerequisite binaries are required a JRE level higher than the project target platform; i.e. compiling against 1.4 libraries 
when deploying for 1.1 platform is likely unwanted.
* JAVACORE / Reporting Incompatible JDK Level for Required Binaries
*    Indicate the severity of the problem reported when a project prerequisites another project 
*    or library with an incompatible target JDK level (e.g. project targeting 1.1 vm, but compiled against 1.4 libraries).
*     - option id:         "org.eclipse.jdt.core.incompatibleJDKLevel"
*     - possible values:   { "error", "warning", "ignore" }
*     - default:           "ignore"

Eclipse SDK 3.0M1 Build - 22nd April 2003

Project org.eclipse.jdt.core v_350
(cvs).

What's new in this drop

Added new compiler optional problem to signal cases where a boolean variable is assigned
in a condition expression. It is likely an accidental situation, where a comparison was actually meant.
* COMPILER / Reporting Possible Accidental Boolean Assignment
*    When enabled, the compiler will issue an error or a warning if a boolean assignment is acting as the condition
*    of a control statement  (where it probably was meant to be a boolean comparison).
*     - option id:         "org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.problem.possibleAccidentalBooleanAssignment"
*     - possible values:   { "error", "warning", "ignore" }
*     - default:           "warning"


Added new compiler settings to control the diagnosis of variable hiding other ones.
* COMPILER / Reporting Local Variable Declaration Hiding another Variable
*    When enabled, the compiler will issue an error or a warning whenever a local variable
*    declaration is hiding some field or local variable (either locally, inherited or defined in enclosing type).
*     - option id:         "org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.problem.localVariableHiding"
*     - possible values:   { "error", "warning", "ignore" }
*     - default:           "warning"
*
* COMPILER / Reporting Field Declaration Hiding another Variable
*    When enabled, the compiler will issue an error or a warning whenever a field
*    declaration is hiding some field or local variable (either locally, inherited or defined in enclosing type).
*     - option id:         "org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.problem.fieldHiding"
*     - possible values:   { "error", "warning", "ignore" }
*     - default:           "warning"
*
* COMPILER / Reporting Special Parameter Hiding another Field
*    When enabled, the compiler will signal cases where a constructor or setter method parameter declaration 
*    is hiding some field (either locally, inherited or defined in enclosing type).
*    The severity of the problem is controlled with option "org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.problem.localVariableHiding".
*     - option id:         "org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.problem.specialParameterHidingField"
*     - possible values:   { "enabled", "disabled" }
*     - default:           "disabled"
