Using Spindle 3.0 alphas with Eclipse 3.0 M5

[Colin Sampaleanu <co...@exis.com>]

The Spindle 3 alphas worked pretty well with Eclipse 3.0M4. With M5, 
things seemed to break, with some classes (mostly related to jface.text) 
not being found. I thought all was lost, as probably stuff had been 
refactored.

Thanks to some pointers from some people on the Eclipse newsgroups, I 
managed to get Spindle 3.0.29 going with Eclipse 3.0 M5. It just 
requires getting it the jface.text classes.

The easiest mechanism is to go into your Eclipse install, and inside your
    org.eclipse.ui_3.0.0
plugin underneath the plugins dir, in the <requires> element of the 
plugin.xml file, add the following line
  <import plugin="org.eclipse.jface.text" export="true"/>

This will essentially always bring in the jface.text classes, and from 
this point on Spindle seems to be happy (you may have to go to the 
Manage Configurations area and re-enable it).

Now this may have performance implications. With the XMLBuddy plugin 
(also broken by M5), I was able to get the same effect just by going 
into that plugin's own plugin.xml file, and adding the line
  <import plugin="org.eclipse.jface.text">
into the requires section.

That solution is better as it doesn't effect all of eclipse, just the 
individual plugin. Theorectically this could be done manually for 
Spindle too, but you'd have to do it for both of the main Spindle 
plugins and the solareclipse plugins that Spindle depends on. Given that 
Spindle is being updated pretty often, it would be better if Geoff added 
these lines himself, with the optional attribute set to true, so it 
doesn't break inside of Eclipse 2.1x...

Regards,
Colin
