# Eclipse Platform Build Notes
Java development tools core

Eclipse SDK 3.3M6 - March 18, 2007
Project org.eclipse.jdt.core v_742 (cvs).

## What's new in this drop

- As some clients need to know if some classpath container children attributes are supported or can be modifiable, the following API methods have been added in `org.eclipse.jdt.core.ClasspathContainerInitializer` class:
  - `#getAccessRulesStatus(IPath, IJavaProject)`
  - `#getAttributeStatus(IPath, IJavaProject, String)`
  - `#getSourceAttachmentStatus(IPath, IJavaProject)`
  For each of these methods, the returned status can have one of the following severities:
  - `IStatus#OK`: means that the attribute is supported and is modifiable
  - `IStatus#ERROR`: means that either the attribute is not supported or is not modifiable.
    In this case, the `IStatus#getCode()` will have respectively the `#ATTRIBUTE_NOT_SUPPORTED` value or the `#ATTRIBUTE_READ_ONLY` value.
  Note that if the subclass does not override this method, then the default behavior is to return `IStatus#OK` if and only if the classpath container can be updated (see `#canUpdateClasspathContainer(IPath, IJavaProject)`).
- API addition to fix bug 130001. It is being able for a user to query what options were enabled when the DOM/AST tree has been created. The following API methods have been added:
  - `org.eclipse.jdt.core.dom.AST#hasResolvedBindings()`
  - `org.eclipse.jdt.core.dom.AST#hasStatementsRecovery()`
  - `org.eclipse.jdt.core.dom.AST#hasBindingsRecovery()`
- API addition to fix bug 149567. It is about the incomplete binding handling. The following API methods or fields have been added:
  - `org.eclipse.jdt.core.dom.ASTParser#setBindingsRecovery(boolean)`
  - `org.eclipse.jdt.core.dom.IBinding#isRecovered()`
  - `org.eclipse.jdt.core.ICompilationUnit#reconcile(int, int, WorkingCopyOwner, IProgressMonitor)`
  - `org.eclipse.jdt.core.ICompilationUnit#FORCE_PROBLEM_DETECTION`
  - `org.eclipse.jdt.core.ICompilationUnit#ENABLE_STATEMENTS_RECOVERY`
  - `org.eclipse.jdt.core.ICompilationUnit#ENABLE_BINDINGS_RECOVERY`
- The working copy owner (`WorkingCopyOwner`) now specifies the problem requestor (`IProblemrequestor`) used to report problems on working copies it owns (see bug 175243).
  To implement this new responsibility, a new API method has been added on `WorkingCopyOwner` class:

      /**
       * Returns the problem requestor used by a working copy of this working copy owner.
       *
       * By default, no problem requestor is configured. Clients can override this
       * method to provide a requestor.
       *
       * @param workingCopy The problem requestor used for the given working copy.
       * If null, then return the problem requestor used for all working
       * copies of the working copy owner.
       * @return the problem requestor to be used by working copies of this working
       * copy owner or null if no problem requestor is configured.
       *
       * @since 3.3
       */
      public IProblemRequestor getProblemRequestor(ICompilationUnit workingCopy) {
      	return null;
      }

  As a consequence of this addition, `IProblemRequestor` parameter of `*WorkingCopy` methods becomes unnecessary and corresponding methods have been deprecated:
  1. `ICompilationUnit#becomeWorkingCopy(IProblemRequestor, IProgressMonitor)`
  2. `ICompilationUnit#getWorkingCopy(WorkingCopyOwner, IProblemRequestor, IProgressMonitor)`
  3. `IClassFile#becomeWorkingCopy(IProblemRequestor, WorkingCopyOwner, IProgressMonitor)`
  4. `WorkingCopyOwner#newWorkingCopy(String, IClasspathEntry[], IProblemRequestor, IProgressMonitor)`
  And are obviously replaced by following methods:
  1. `ICompilationUnit#becomeWorkingCopy(IProgressMonitor)`
  2. `ICompilationUnit#getWorkingCopy(WorkingCopyOwner, IProgressMonitor)`
  3. `IClassFile#becomeWorkingCopy(WorkingCopyOwner, IProgressMonitor)`
  4. `WorkingCopyOwner#newWorkingCopy(String, IClasspathEntry[], IProgressMonitor)`
- Added API org.eclipse.jdt.core.JavaCore#getGeneratedResources(IRegion, boolean) to be able to get the generated resources for all elements of a IRegion. See bug 6584 for details.

## What's new in this drop

- Refined the problem IDs and messages associated to null-related issues detection, for which typical examples would now be:
  - `NullLocalVariableReference` - Null pointer access: The variable o can only be null at this location
  - `PotentialNullLocalVariableReference` - Potential null pointer access: The variable o may be null at this location
  - `RedundantNullCheckOnNullLocalVariable` - Redundant null check: The variable o can only be null at this location
  - `NullLocalVariableComparisonYieldsFalse` - Null comparison always yields false: The variable x can only be null at this location
  - `RedundantLocalVariableNullAssignment` - Redundant assignment: The variable x can only be null at this location
  - `NullLocalVariableInstanceofYieldsFalse` - instanceof always yields false: The variable o can only be null at this location
  - `RedundantNullCheckOnNonNullLocalVariable` - Redundant null check: The variable o2 cannot be null at this location
  - `NonNullLocalVariableComparisonYieldsFalse` - Null comparison always yields false: The variable i cannot be null at this location
  Note that problem IDs `LocalVariableCannotBeNull`, `LocalVariableCanOnlyBeNull`, and `LocalVariableMayBeNull` have been deprecated.
  See bugs 175570 and 175571 for details.
- The API method `IClassFile#getType()` does not longer throw `JavaModelException` (see bug 154667).
- Code Assist: unresolved simple names are proposed when completing a simple name reference

      package test;
      public class E1 {
              void m() {
                      variable = 10;
                      System.out.println(v); // do completion after 'v'
              }
      }

  When v is completed, variable is proposed as a possible local variable which are not yet declared.
  Unresolved simple names are searched before and after the completion location.

## What's new in this drop

- Refined the options that control null-related issues detection. The existing `nullReference` option has been repurposed and split into three options:

      COMPILER / Reporting Null Dereference
         When enabled, the compiler will issue an error or a warning whenever a
         variable that is statically known to hold a null value is used to
         access a field or method.
          - option id:         "org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.problem.nullReference"
          - possible values:   { "error", "warning", "ignore" }
          - default:           "ignore"
      COMPILER / Reporting Potential Null Dereference
         When enabled, the compiler will issue an error or a warning whenever a
         variable that has formerly been tested against null but is not (no more)
         statically known to hold a non-null value is used to access a field or
         method.
          - option id:         "org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.problem.potentialNullReference"
          - possible values:   { "error", "warning", "ignore" }
          - default:           "ignore"
      COMPILER / Reporting Redundant Null Check
         When enabled, the compiler will issue an error or a warning whenever a
         variable that is statically known to hold a null or a non-null value
         is tested against null.
          - option id:         "org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.problem.redundantNullCheck"
          - possible values:   { "error", "warning", "ignore" }

       *
       * Returns a negative integer if array1 lexicographically precedes the array2,
       * a positive integer if this array1 lexicographically follows the array2, or

       * @since 3.3
       */
      public static final int compareTo(char[] array1, char[] array2)

- New API added in `org.eclipse.jdt.core.util.CompilationUnitSorter`:

      	/**
      	 * Reorders the declarations in the given compilation unit according to the
      	 * specified comparator. The caller is responsible for arranging in advance
      	 * that the given compilation unit is a working copy, and for applying the
      	 * returned TextEdit afterwards.
      	 *
      	 * Note: Reordering the members within a type declaration might be
      	 * more than a cosmetic change and could have potentially serious
      	 * repercussions. Firstly, the order in which the fields of a type are
      	 * initialized is significant in the Java language; reordering fields and
      	 * initializers may result in compilation errors or change the execution
      	 * behavior of the code. Secondly, reordering a class's members may affect
      	 * how its instances are serialized. This operation should therefore be used
      	 * with caution and due concern for potential negative side effects.
      	 *
      	 *
      	 * The compare method of the given comparator is passed pairs
      	 * of body declarations (subclasses of BodyDeclaration)
      	 * representing body declarations at the same level. The nodes are from an
      	 * AST of the specified level ({@link org.eclipse.jdt.core.dom.ASTParser#newParser(int)}.
      	 * Clients will generally use AST.JLS3 since that will cover all
      	 * constructs found in Java 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, and 1.5 source code.
      	 * The comparator is called on body declarations of nested classes,
      	 * including anonymous and local classes, but always at the same level.
      	 * Clients need to provide a comparator implementation (there is no standard
      	 * comparator). The RELATIVE_ORDER property attached to these
      	 * AST nodes affords the comparator a way to preserve the original relative
      	 * order.
      	 *
      	 *
      	 * The body declarations passed as parameters to the comparator always carry
      	 * at least the following minimal signature information:
      	 *
      	 *
      	 * TypeDeclaration
      	 * modifiers, isInterface, name, superclass,
      	 *        superInterfaces, typeParameters

      	 *
      	 * MethodDeclaration
      	 * modifiers, isConstructor, returnType, name,
      	 *        typeParameters, parameters
      	 *        (SingleVariableDeclarations with name, type, and modifiers only),
      	 *        thrownExceptions
      	 *        RELATIVE_ORDER property

      	 * modifiers, name
      	 *        RELATIVE_ORDER property

## What's new in this drop

- Code Assist: Exception thrown in a try block are more relevant if the completion occurs in a catch clause. Already caught exceptions are filtered.

      public class X {
        void foo() throws XAException, XBException {}
        void bar() {
          try {
          	foo();
          } catch(XAException e) {
          } catch(X| //do ctrl + space at |
        }

  In this example XBException will more relevant than XCException and XAException won't be proposed.
- Classpath variable may now be flagged as deprecated or read-only (see bug 138599 and bug 156226).
  Two new attributes have been added on `ClasspathVariableInitializer` schema:

         <element name="classpathVariableInitializer">
            <complexType>
               ...
               <attribute name="deprecated" type="string">
                  <annotation>
                     <documentation>
                        String explaining the reason why the associated variable is deprecated
                     </documentation>
                     <appInfo>
                        <meta.attribute translatable="true"/>
                     </appInfo>
                  </annotation>
               </attribute>
               <attribute name="readOnly" type="boolean">
                  <annotation>
                     <documentation>
                        Indicates that the associated variable cannot be modified
                     </documentation>
                  </annotation>
               </attribute>
            </complexType>
         </element>

  When deprecated attribute is set on ClasspathVariableInitializer extension point, classpath entry validation returns a warning status if no other error was previously detected.
  For example, following `classpathVariableInitializer` extension point set the `TEST` classpath variable as deprecated and read-only:

         <extension
               point="org.eclipse.jdt.core.classpathVariableInitializer">
            <classpathVariableInitializer
                  class="org.eclipse.jdt.tests.model.TestInitializer"
                  deprecated="The reason why this variable is deprecated"
                  readOnly="true"
                  variable="TEST">
            </classpathVariableInitializer>
         </extension>

  Calling `JavaConventions.validateClasspathEntry(IJavaProject, IClasspathEntry, boolean)` method on this variable entry will return a `IStatus.WARNING` status with following message: .
  Classpath variable deprecation message and read-only information are accessible using two new added `JavaCore` API methods:

      /**
       * Returns deprecation message of a given classpath variable.
       *
       * @param variableName
       * @return A string if the classpath variable is deprecated, null otherwise.
       * @since 3.3
       */
      public static String getClasspathVariableDeprecationMessage(String variableName)

      /**
       * Returns whether a given classpath variable is read-only or not.
       *
       * @param variableName
       * @return true if the classpath variable is read-only,
       * 	false otherwise.
       * @since 3.3
       */
      public static boolean isClasspathVariableReadOnly(String variableName)

- The compiler can now detect unused local types (as opposed to only private types up until now).
- The compiler is now better able to detect unused private constructors, it now tolerates more than the private constructor with no parameter as the known pattern for blocking instantiation. Basically, unless a non private constructor is defined as well, it will ignore unused private constructors from now on (also see bug 163443).
- Code Assist can propose import statements:

      	...

      	 * <p>

      	public void setFavoriteReferences(String[] favoriteImports) {...}
      	...
      }

  With the following example if the favorite reference is "java.util.Arrays.*" then a proposal will be the method "sort()" with a required proposal of a static import "import static java.util.Arrays.sort;". If the completion level is lesser than 1.5 the proposal will be "Arrays.sort()" with a required proposal of an import "import java.util.Arrays;".

  The option `JavaCore.CODEASSIST_SUGGEST_STATIC_IMPORTS` can be disabled to avoid to propose static import even if compliance is 1.5 or greater.

## What's new in this drop

- Added `org.eclipse.jdt.core.JavaCore#VERSION_1_7`. It can be used to set the compliance, the source or the target platform values. This has no impact right now beside setting the major version inside .class file to `org.eclipse.jdt.internal.compiler.classfmt.ClassFileConstants#MAJOR_VERSION_1_7`.
- Added new API `org.eclipse.jdt.core.JavaCore#setComplianceOptions(String, Map)` to set the compiler's options relative to a given compiler's compliance.
- Tuned compiler semantics for unchecked cast detection. As a consequence, more warnings should be issued (also see bugs 106451 and 165143).
- Raw type warnings are now also diagnosed for cast types.
- Improved compiler diagnosis for type hiding to now report: member type hiding type parameters, nested types hiding other accessible types in scope (direct enclosing are already reported as errors).
- Compiler is now more resilient with duplicate local type declarations; thus allowing further operation to still be carried out accurately (codeselect, completion, search, DOM AST ops) (cf. bug 165662).
- New Java Model element interface has been added as common supertype for `ICompilationUnit` and `IClassFile` (see bug 125504).

      /**
       * Represents an entire Java type root (either an ICompilationUnit
       * or an IClassFile).

## What's new in this drop

- `TypeNameMatch` API has been polished while implementing new `searchAllTypeNames(char[][] char[][],...)` API method (see next point).
  This class has been abstracted and clients now need to use added `SearchEngine` following method to create an instance of it:

      /**
       * Create a type name match on a given type with specific modifiers.
       *
       * @param type The java model handle of the type
       * @param modifiers Modifiers of the type
       * @return A non-null match on the given type.
       */
      public static TypeNameMatch createTypeNameMatch(IType type, int modifiers)

  Early performance tests using added `searchAllTypeNames` method with `TypeNameMatchRequestor` requestor (i.e. a la Open Type dialog) show interesting memory footprint reduction (around 30%). More precise measures of this performance improvement will be done later...
- Added new `SearchEngine` API method for search all type names with multiple qualifications and type names (see bug 160324).
  Only requestor differs from already existing corresponding `searchAllTypeNames` method:

      /**

  Similarily to previous added `searchAllTypeNames` new API method, clients have to provide a new requestor: `TypeNameMatchRequestor` in order to get matches collected during the search.
- Code Assist can return completion proprosals that required some other completion proposals:
  To apply a completion proposal the required completion proposals must be applied otherwise the resulting code won't be correct.
  To manage completion proposalswith required proposals the following API have been added:

      public class CompletionProposal {

      	...

      	/**
      	 * Returns the required completion proposals.
      	 * The proposal can be apply only if these required completion proposals are also applied.
      	 * If the required proposal aren't applied the completion could create complations problems.
      	 *
      	 * <p>
      	 * This field is available for the following kinds of
      	 * completion proposals:
      	 * <ul>
      	 * 	<li><code>FIELD_REF</code> - The allowed required proposals for this kind are:
      	 *   <ul>
      	 *    <li><code>TYPE_REF</code></li>
      	 *   </ul>
      	 * </li>
      	 * 	<li><code>METHOD_REF</code> - The allowed required proposals for this kind are:
      	 *   <ul>

      	 *  </li>
      	 * </ul>
      	 * </p>
      	 * <p>
      	 * Other kinds of required proposals will be returned in the future, therefore clients of this
      	 * API must allow with {@link CompletionRequestor#setAllowsRequiredProposals(int, int, boolean)}
      	 * only kinds which are in this list to avoid unexpected results in the future.
      	 * </p>
      	 * <p>
      	 * A required completion proposal cannot have required completion proposals.
      	 * </p>
      	 *

      	 *
      	 * @see CompletionRequestor#setAllowsRequiredProposals(int, int,boolean)
      	 *
      	 * @since 3.3
      	 */
      	public CompletionProposal[] getRequiredProposals() {...}

      	...

      }

      public class CompletionRequestor {

      	...

      	/**

      	 */
      	public void setAllowsRequiredProposals(int proposalKind, int requiredProposalKind)boolean allow) {...}

      	...

      }

- Code Assist propose completion even if the type of a variable or the return type of the method is missing.
  e.g.

      package p;
      public class X {
        void foo() {
          Vector v = null;
          v.addEl| // complete at | location
        }
      }

  A completion proposal with required proposals will be returned. The main proposal will be the method `addElement()` at `addEl` location with a required proposal of the type `java.util.Vector` at `Vector` location. The same kind of completion can be computed with the following examples.

      package p;
      public class X {
        Vector v = null;
        void foo() {
          v.addEl| // complete at | location
        }
      }

      package p;
      public class X {
        Vector bar() {return null;}
        void foo() {
          bar().addEl| // complete at | location
        }
      }

## What's new in this drop

- Raw type reference are now reported by default. See bug 159456.
- API of `TypeNameMatch` has been changed to improve memory consumption performance. It now creates IType handle while accepting the type information from indexes and stores their modifiers to avoid java element opening while getting this piece of information.
  Note that there's no Java Model initialization nor populating while creating handles...
  Note also that previously added API method on IJavaProject has been removed:

      IType findType(String packageName,
      	String typeQualifiedName,
      	IPackageFragmentRoot root,
      	ICompilationUnit[] units,
      	IProgressMonitor progressMonitor) throws JavaModelException;

- While fixing bug 157814, new `MethodReferenceMatch.isPolymorphic()` API method has been renamed to:

      /**
       * Returns whether the reference is on a message sent from a type
       * which is a super type of the searched method declaring type.
       * If true, the method called at run-time may or may not be
       * the search target, depending on the run-time type of the receiver object.
       *
       * @return true if the reference is on a message sent from
       * a super-type of the search method declaring class, false  otherwise
       */
      public boolean isSuperInvocation()

- Added new API `ClasspathContainerInitializer#getFailureContainer(...)` that returns the classpath container that should be used if a container initializer fails to initialize a container.

Eclipse SDK 3.3M3 - 3rd October 2006
Project org.eclipse.jdt.core v_715 (cvs).

## What's new in this drop

- Added new `SearchEngine` API method for search all type names (see bug 148380).
  Only requestor differs from already existing `searchAllTypeNames` method:

      /**
       * Searches for all top-level types and member types in the given scope.
       * The search can be selecting specific types (given a package name using specific match mode
       * and/or a type name using another specific match mode).
       *
       * Provided {@link TypeNameMatchRequestor} requestor will collect {@link TypeNameMatch}
       * matches found during the search.
      ...
       * @param nameMatchRequestor the {@link TypeNameMatchRequestor requestor} that collects
       * 				{@link TypeNameMatch matches} of the search.
      ...
       * @since 3.3
       */
      public void searchAllTypeNames(
      	final char[] packageName,
      	final int packageMatchRule,
      	final char[] typeName,
      	final int typeMatchRule,
      	int searchFor,
      	IJavaSearchScope scope,
      	final TypeNameMatchRequestor nameMatchRequestor,
      	int waitingPolicy,
      	IProgressMonitor progressMonitor)  throws JavaModelException

  Clients have to provide a new requestor: `TypeNameMatchRequestor` in order to get matches collected during the search.
  Note that this match (`TypeNameMatch`) can resolve type and then provide corresponding java model `IType`:

      /**
       * Returns the java model type corresponding to fully qualified type name
       * (based on package, enclosing types and simple name).
       *
       * @return the java model type
       * @throws JavaModelException happens when type stored information are not valid
       */
      public IType resolvedType() throws JavaModelException

- Deprecated existing `SearchEngine` API helper method:

      	public void searchAllTypeNames(
      		final char[] packageExactName,
      		final char[] typeName,
      		final int matchRule,
      		int searchFor,
      		IJavaSearchScope scope,
      		final TypeNameRequestor nameRequestor,
      		int waitingPolicy,
      		IProgressMonitor progressMonitor)  throws JavaModelException

  This should avoid to have too many similar `searchAllTypeNames` available methods...
- Added new `JavaCore` API method to create a java element from an `IFile` using a specific project:

      /**
       * Returns the Java element corresponding to the given file, its project being the given
       * project.
       * Returns null if unable to associate the given file
       * with a Java element.
       *
       * The file must be one of:
       *  . a file with one of the {@link JavaCore#getJavaLikeExtensions()
       *      Java-like extensions} - the element returned is the corresponding ICompilationUnit
       *  . a .class file - the element returned is the corresponding IClassFile
       *  . a .jar file - the element returned is the corresponding IPackageFragmentRoot
       *
       * Creating a Java element has the side effect of creating and opening all of the
       * element's parents if they are not yet open.
       *
       * @param file the given file
       * @return the Java element corresponding to the given file, or
       * null if unable to associate the given file
       * with a Java element
       * @since 3.3
       */
      public static IJavaElement create(IFile file, IJavaProject project)

  Existing API method `JavaCore.create(IFile)` assumed that project to use was the file one but it was not always the case, especially for class files belonging to an external class folder...
  Note that no other methods was added for `IResource` and `IFolder` as default project was always well computed for this kind of resources.

Eclipse SDK 3.3M2 - 15th September 2006 - 3.3 MILESTONE 2
Project org.eclipse.jdt.core v_713 (cvs).

## What's new in this drop

- Added `isPolymorphic()` getter to `MethodReferenceMatch` (see bug 73401 and bug 156491).
  When a search requestor (`SearchRequestor`) accepts this kind of match, it knows if a method reference match is a polymorphic method (i.e. implemented in a super or sub type) or not.

  For example, in example below:

      class A { public void foo() {} }
      class B extends A {}
      class C extends B { public void foo() {} }
      class D extends C {}
      public class X {
      	void foo() {
      		new B().foo();
      		new C().foo();
      		new D().foo();
      	}
      }

  Searching for all references to `C.foo()` method get 3 matches (instance of `MethodReferenceMatch`). Two of them, `new B().foo()` and `new D().foo()` are flagged as polymorphic due to the fact that these are methods respectively of a superclass and of a subclass...

  Search view has been modified to filter this kind of matches when user wants to focus only on exact references of the searched method.

      	/**
      	 * The searched element is an interface or annotation type.
      	 * More selective than using {@link #TYPE}.

## What's new in this drop

- Added to the batch compiler the ability to redefine the destination path on a source folder basis. Directories cited as sources, directly or as arguments to the `-classpath` and other classpath related options, can bear a `[-d dir]` specification that directs the generated class files to `dir` for source files fetched from the said directories. For example, given the source files `src/X.java` and `Y.java`, X depending from Y, the command `ecj src[-d bin1] -d bin2` will produce the files `bin1/X.class` and `bin2/Y.class`, while the command `ecj src[-d bin] -d none` will only produce the file `bin/X.class`.
- Code Assist: Annotation arguments names are proposed even there is no prefix.

         public @interface MyAnnot {
            int foo();
         }
         @MyAnnot(|
         public class AClass {}

  'foo' is proposed if you do code assist at '|' location.

## What's new in this drop

- Add new Search API method to support patterns for package/enclosing type name while searching all types names (see bug 92264).

      /**
       * Searches for all top-level types and member types in the given scope.
       * The search can be selecting specific types (given a package name using specific match mode
       * and/or a type name using another specific match mode).
       *
       * @param packageName the full name of the package of the searched types, or a prefix for this
       *                    package, or a wild-carded string for this package.
       * @param typeName the dot-separated qualified name of the searched type (the qualification include
       *                 the enclosing types if the searched type is a member type), or a prefix
       *                 for this type, or a wild-carded string for this type.

      public void searchAllTypeNames(
      	final char[] packageName,
      	final int packageMatchRule,
      	final char[] typeName,

      	final TypeNameRequestor nameRequestor,

  Note that already existing `searchAllTypeNames(char [], char[], int, int, IJavaSearchScope, TypeNameRequestor, int, IProgressMonitor)` API method documentation has been updated to reflected the fact that package name is an exact name and does not accept wildcards.
- Incremented plug-in version ID to "3.3.0" due to newly added API method (see details above).
- Huge String concatenations - thousands of terms and beyond - are now handled smoothly by the compiler even when they are not solely comprised of literals and other constants (cf. bug 102728).

## What's new in this drop

- Fix for bug 120667 required the index version to be incremented. Indexes will be automatically regenerated upon subsequent search queries (accounting for indexing notification in search progress dialogs).

Eclipse SDK 3.3M1 - 13th June 2006
Project org.eclipse.jdt.core v_700 (cvs).

## What's new in this drop

- Progressive help message for the batch compiler.
  The new `-help:warn` option displays details about the various parameters applicable to the `-warn` option; these details are no more part of the general help message, which is thus more compact (cf. bug 144248).
- Compiler is now better resilient to duplicate local variables, thus allowing further operation to still be carried out accurately (codeselect, completion, search, DOM AST ops) (cf. bug 144858).
