SWTBot and Eclipse 3.4 (Ganymede)

without comments

SWTBot has so been supporting Eclipse Ganymede since the last 2+ years before it moved to eclipse.org.

Ganymede is now almost 2 years old and the last bug fix release was in Feb 2009.

There has been a Galileo release of Eclipse in the Summer of 2009, and there is a new release Helios coming up the horizon.

Given this situation, it is very difficult to continue to provide a light weight testing tool that works across 3 different versions of eclipse on 4 different platforms linux, windows and macosx(carbon/cocoa) while backporting APIs that only work on newer eclipse versions.

In light of this, I’m considering dropping support for eclipse 3.4 for future releases. I’m happy to assist anyone wanting to contribute efforts towards maintaining a release of SWTBot for Ganymede.

The v2.0.0.568 of SWTBot made last night would be the last that supports Ganymede.
