## What's new in this drop

- CamelCase patterns now accept lowercases (see bug 130390).
  For example, `NuPoEx` type string pattern will match `NullPointerException` type but will not match `NoPermissionException`.
  This allow user to reduce matches list on small or common patterns.
- Search Engine now returns subclasses as exact matches while searching for implementors of a class (see bugs 124645 and 122442).

- For 1.5 targets (or when toggling preference for Inlining Finally Blocks), the compiler is inlining finally blocks at every exit point inside a try statement. With fix for bug 128705, the inlining got smarter, and identical exit point are now sharing the same inlined finally block (to be truly identical, exit points must denote the same break/continue label, or be return from void method, or return the same constant or null value.

- In problem view, all optional errors treated as fatal are now grouped into the "Fatal errors" category. Note that there is an option to control whether optional errors are intended to be fatal or not, by default they are considered fatal (see `Preferences>Java>Compiler>Building>Treat configurable errors like fatal errors...`
- Build states for very large projects should now save in a fraction of the time.
- Diagnosis for assignment with no effect can now recognize following patterns:
  - `int i = i = 0;`

## What's new in this drop

- The Java model now better accommodates very big JAR files (i.e. containing lots of packages). Before 3.2 M5, such JAR files would cause the Java model cache to overflow frequently, which induced poor performance, since the same JAR file kept being read over and over again. A workaround was to start Eclipse with more memory to enjoy good performance again (as the cache size is a function of the memory size).

  JAR files are now read more selectively, and thus interesting portions remain in the cache longer without consuming lots of memory. User editing experience is thus significantly improved on large workspaces containing big JARs. As a consequence, our experiments show that the memory requirement for developing Eclipse in Eclipse can be lowered to 128MB only (i.e. passing -Xmx128m to the VM) as opposed to 256MB as currently specified in the eclipse.ini file.

- Removed `IMethodBinding#isOverriding()` API introduced during 3.2 in DOM AST, as it doesn't meet client expectation, who isn't even using it (also see bug 90660).
- Added optional compiler diagnosis for signaling fall-through switch cases.

      * COMPILER / Reporting Switch Fall-Through Case
      *    When enabled, the compiler will issue an error or a warning if a case may be
      *    entered by falling through previous case. Empty cases are allowed.         *
      *     - option id:         "org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.problem.fallthroughCase"
      *     - possible values:   { "error", "warning", "ignore" }
      *     - default:           "ignore"

  Fall-through warnings can be silenced using `@SuppressWarnings("fallthrough")`.
  Also see bug 67836 for details.

       *    When active, completion doesn't show deprecated members and types.
       *     - option id:         "org.eclipse.jdt.core.codeComplete.deprecationCheck"

## What's new in this drop

- Added optional null reference analysis for local variables. It can be activated using the following preference: `Window>Preferences>Java>Compiler>Errors/Warnings>Potential programming problems>Null reference`. Also see bug 110030 for details.
  Note that the analysis is fairly conservative, aligned on definite assignment rules. It is intentionally not complaining on all possible cases, but only considering these for which a suspicion gets introduced (e.g. if later on a null check is performed). The analysis could be further improved by introducing annotations (@CanBeNull, @CannotBeNull) but these would need to get standardized first.
  Null reference warnings can be silenced using `@SuppressWarnings("null")`.

### Problem Reports Fixed

  See bug 126625 for details.
- Code Assist: Improve variable name completion
  Variable name completion try to keep typed characters even if they don't match to a part of the type name.
  e.g: Element rootE| is completed to Element rootElement.
- Added API `org.eclipse.jdt.core.CorrectionEngine#getAllWarningTokens()` to get all the valid warning tokens, which can be used into `@SuppressWarnings` annotations. See bug 126326 for details.
- Changed the way to flag DOM AST nodes as RECOVERED.
  Now only nodes which really contains added/removed/replaced tokens are flagged. A parent of these kind of node isn't flagged. Sometimes our heuristic can't recognize the really recovered node, so in this case all potentially recovered nodes are flagged.
- Fix for bug 119203 has been removed due to bad side effects (see bug 127048)

## What's new in this drop

- Added API to ASTRewrite to get actual value of a property as managed by the rewriter. See bug 96663 for details.
- Added an application to format code in a headless environment. See bug 75333 for details.
- Java projects can now depend on other Java projects that have replaced the default builder with their own builder, such as an Ant builder. We will now trust that the Ant build was successful and propagate any changes to the affected class files.
  Note: When projects are associated with the Java builder, it is able to track structural changes to classfiles (signatures etc...) and only recompile dependents of structurally changed classfiles. In the absence of a Java builder on a prereq project, all modified classfiles will be considered as (potentially) structurally changed; and thus recompilation will be less optimal.
- Access restriction warnings (discouraged & non-accessible) can now be silenced using `@SuppressWarnings("restriction")`. Note: if certain restrictions are configured as errors, the annotation has no effect.
- Added API `org.eclipse.jdt.core.formatter.CodeFormatter#createIndentationString(int)` to return the indentation string corresponding to the given indentation level.
  See bug 111446 for details.
- Added new class `org.eclipse.jdt.core.formatter.IndentManipulation` to deal with indentations.
  See bug 111446 for details.
- Fix for bug 124469 required the index version to be incremented. Indexes will be automatically regenerated upon subsequent search queries (accounting for indexing notification in search progress dialogs).

- Added EFS support for zip and jar files. JDT/Core now fully supports EFS.
- Added support for optional classpath entries. When optional, a missing entry is not complained against, and simply ignored. In order to be optional, an entry must carry an `IClasspathAttribute#OPTIONAL` extra attribute. The possible values for this attribute are `"true"` or `"false"`. When not present, `"false"` is assumed. If the value of this attribute is `"true"`, the classpath entry is optional.
- Added support for statement recovery in Parser
  Currently this new behavior is incomplete (mapping non-terminals -> terminals) and disabled. The option JavaCore.COMPILER_STATEMENTS_RECOVERY must be set to ENABLED to use it (It's a temporary option).
- Added API for DOM ASTNode flag: `ASTNode.RECOVERED`
  It is a flag constant indicating that this node or a part of this node is recovered from source that contains a syntax error detected in the vicinity.
- Added API: `ASTParser#setStatementsRecovery(boolean enabled)`
  This method allow to enable statements recovery for ASTParser. Statements recovery is disabled by default.
- Added API: `ICompilationUnit#reconcile(int astLevel, boolean forceProblemDetection, boolean enableStatementsRecovery, WorkingCopyOwner owner, IProgressMonitor monitor)`
  This method allow to enable statements recovery for reconcile operation.
- Added two warning tokens to the batch compiler options: `discouraged` and `forbidden`, so as to suppress warnings about access rules restrictions.

## What's new in this drop

- Added API `IAccessRule#IGNORE_IF_BETTER` that indicates that the rule should be ignored if a better rule is found. E.g. if a rule `K_NON_ACCESSIBLE | IGNORE_IF_BETTER` matches type p.X and a rule `K_DISCOURAGED` that also matches p.X is found after the first one, then p.X will be reported as discouraged.
- Added the support to compute the stack map frames (requires a 6.0 VM to run). See bug 109980 for details.
  This is still experimental.
- Added API for the configuration of the Import Rewrite: `ImportRewrite#setImportOrder()`, `ImportRewrite#setOnDemandImportThreshold()` and `ImportRewrite#setStaticOnDemandImportThreshold()`. For compatibility reasons the actual configuration option values stay in JDT.UI

## What's new in this drop

- Added Import Rewrite as API (`org.eclipse.jdt.core.dom.ImportRewrite`). The import rewriter is used to add new imports according to a user specified import order. See bug 73054 for details.
- Added new APIs for checking modifiers (`org.eclipse.jdt.core.dom.Modifier#isPublic(), org.eclipse.jdt.core.dom.Modifier#isStatic(), ...`). See bug 122460 for details.
- Added new API `org.eclipse.jdt.core.IJavaElement#String getAttachedJavadoc(IProgressMonitor monitor)`. See bug 122506 for details. The former API `org.eclipse.jdt.core.IJavaElement#String getAttachedJavadoc(IProgressMonitor monitor, String defaultEncoding)` has been deprecated.
- Added new API `org.eclipse.jdt.core.dom.ITypeBinding#getComponentType()` in order to retrieve the binding corresponding to the component type of the array binding. See bug 120264 for details. This API is still subject to change before 3.2 release.
- Added optional compiler diagnosis for signaling method parameter assignments.

      * COMPILER / Reporting Parameter Assignment
      *    When enabled, the compiler will issue an error or a warning if a parameter is
      *    assigned to.

- Added API methods on IJavaProject to find secondary types while searching for type on a project (see bug 118789):

      	/**
      	 * Same functionality as {@link #findType(String)} but also look for secondary

  Note that previously existing find type API methods:
  - `IJavaproject#findType(String)`
  - `IJavaproject#findType(String, WorkingCopyOwner)`
  - `IJavaproject#findType(String, String)`
  - `IJavaproject#findType(String, String, WorkingCopyOwner)`
  will not find secondary types (same behavior than for 3.1 version).
  This means that fix for bug 36032 was slightly modified as it introduced an non-deterministic behavior of these API methods (see bug 118789 for the whole story...).
- Added API `SearchParticipant#removeIndex(IPath)` to remove both index file from a given location and its corresponding Index in IndexManager cache.
- Added API `IJavaProject#setRawClasspath(IClasspathEntry[], IPath, boolean, IProgressMonitor)` to change the output location as well as the classpath without touching resources.
- Added constant constant JavaCore#JAVA_SOURCE_CONTENT_TYPE to retrieve the Java source content type from the content type manager (see org.eclipse.core.runtime.content.IContentTypeManager#getContentType(String))

- Added API `IJavaProject#setRawClasspath(IClasspathEntry[], boolean, IProgressMonitor)` to set the classpath without touching the .classpath file.
- Added API `org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.CharOperation#equals(char[], char[], int, int, boolean)`.

- Plugin version now respects new versionning requirements. See plugin versioning and bug 99393.
- Fix for bug 36032 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 3.2M4 - 22nd November 2005
Project org.eclipse.jdt.core v_623 (cvs).

## What's new in this drop

- `JavaCore#initializeAfterLoad(IProgressMonitor)` used to schedule a job to do its work. It now does it in the same thread. Note this is not an API change as the spec allows both scenarii.
- DOM type bindings for generics got adjusted. There were situations where a reference to a generic type from within itself would expose the declared generic type binding, instead of a parameterized type binding (using its own type parameters as type arguments). This is now corrected, clients should ensure they did not rely on the previous inconsistency (note: no change was required from direct JDT dependents).
- Added APIs `JavaCore#getJavaLikeExtensions(), isJavaLikeFileName(String), and removeJavaLikeExtension(String)` to get the available Java-like extensions (from the Java source content-type), checking if a file is a Java-like file, and removing the Java-like extension from a file name.
- Added new API for org.eclipse.jdt.core.dom.CompilationUnit:

      	/**
      	 * Returns the column number corresponding to the given source character
      	 * position in the original source string. Column number are zero-based.
      	 * Return -1 if it is beyond the valid range or -2
      	 * if the column number information is unknown.
      	 *
      	 * @param position a 0-based character position, possibly
      	 *   negative or out of range
      	 * @return the 0-based column number, or -1 if the character
      	 *    position does not correspond to a source line in the original
      	 *    source file or -2 if column number information is unknown for this
      	 *    compilation unit

- A tool to automate the update of the build notes is available on this update-site:

  This is matching the format of the JDT/Core buildnotes. But the code can be easily customized for a different format.

- Added Camel Case support in completion. When you perform code complete, the proposals list contains proposals whose name match with the camel case pattern.

Java Development Tooling Core

Eclipse SDK 3.2M3 - 25th October 2005
Project org.eclipse.jdt.core v_618 (cvs).

## What's new in this drop

- Completion engine now supports completion inside Javadoc. User can complete after any word in Javadoc and get most appropriate proposal depending on area of completion.
  Here is a breaf summary of code assist functionality in javadoc:
  - Completion of javadoc tag now only gives valid proposals.
    Some examples:
    - complete `@pa|` will give `@param` proposal only in javadoc of method or generic type declarations,
    - complete `{@co|` will give `{@code }` proposal only if your compiler compliance has been set to 1.5 or over,
    - etc.
  - Completion in "formal reference" of `@see`, `@throws`, `@exception`, `{@link}`, `{@linplain}` or `{@value}` tags will behave like completion in java code. Type qualification for types will be inserted depending on "Add import instead of qualified name" Code Assist preferences.
  - Completion is now available in text area of javadoc comment.
    Some examples:
    - complete at caret in following code:

          /**
           * This is an example of completion inside text area: S|
           */
          public class Sample {}

      will propose both `String` and `Sample`, but also `{@link String }` and `{@link Sample }`. Currently each proposal is available either as java code type name or direclty inserted as a {@link} tag. This part is still under work and final behavior should depend on a new JDT/UI preferences...
    - complete at caret in following code:

          /**
           * This is an example of completion inside text area: #m|
           */
          public class Sample {
            void method() {}
          }

      will propose `{@link #method() }`.
  New API methods have also been added to `CompletionContext`:

      /**
       * Tell user whether completion takes place in a javadoc comment or not.
       *
       * @return boolean true if completion takes place in a javadoc comment, false otherwise.
       * @since 3.2
       */
      public boolean isInJavadoc() {...}
      /**
       * Tell user whether completion takes place in text area of a javadoc comment or not.
       *
       * @return boolean true if completion takes place in a text area of a javadoc comment, false otherwise.
       * @since 3.2
       */
      public boolean isInJavadocText() {...}
      /**
       * Tell user whether completion takes place in a formal reference of a javadoc tag or not.
       * Tags with formal reference are:
       * 	- @see
       * 	- @throws
       * 	- @exception
       * 	- {@link Object}
       * 	- {@linkplain Object}
       * 	- {@value} when compiler compliance is set at leats to 1.5
       *
       * @return boolean true if completion takes place in formal reference of a javadoc tag, false otherwise.
       * @since 3.2
       */
      public boolean isInJavadocFormalReference() {...}

- Added API `org.eclipse.jdt.core.IMember#ISourceRange getJavadocRange() throws JavaModelException`. This API can be used to retrieve the source range of a javadoc comment attached to the corresponding member.
- Added compiler option so as to specify whether optional errors should be fatal or not. By default, an optional error is treated as fatal as a normal language error (as defined by the language spec book), when disabling this option, clients will be able to treat optional errors as severe warnings only, which will be rendered as errors, but no longer prevent from running the code. There is some work planned on UI side so as to better distinguish amongst mandatory vs. optional errors.

      * COMPILER / Treating Optional Error as Fatal
      *    When enabled, optional errors (i.e. optional problems which severity is set to "error") will be treated as standard
      *    compiler errors, yielding problem methods/types preventing from running offending code until the issue got resolved.
      *    When disabled, optional errors are only considered as warnings, still carrying an error indication to make them more
      *    severe. Note that by default, errors are fatal, whether they are optional or not.
      *     - option id:         "org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.problem.fatalOptionalError"
      *     - possible values:   { "enabled", "disabled" }
      *     - default:           "enabled"

- Added `IJavaElementDelta#F_CATEGORIES`. This flag is set when one or more categories of an element are added/changed/removed.
- Java search engine is now able to perform search using Camel Case pattern while using new match rule flag defined on `SearchPattern` (see bug 110060):

      /**
       * Match rule: The search pattern contains a Camel Case expression.
       * For example, NPE type string pattern will match
       * NullPointerException type.
       * @see CharOperation#camelCaseMatch(char[], char[]) for a detailed explanation
       * of Camel Case matching.
       *
       * Can be combined to {@link #R_PREFIX_MATCH} match rule. For example,
       * when prefix match rule is combined with Camel Case match rule,
       * "nPE" pattern will match nPException.
       *
       * Match rule {@link #R_PATTERN_MATCH} may also be combined but both rules
       * will not be used simultaneously as they are mutually exclusive.
       * Used match rule depends on whether string pattern contains specific pattern
       * characters (e.g. '*' or '?') or not. If it does, then only Pattern match rule
       * will be used, otherwise only Camel Case match will be used.
       * For example, with "NPE" string pattern, search will only use
       * Camel Case match rule, but with N*P*E* string pattern, it will
       * use only Pattern match rule.
       *
       * @since 3.2

## What's new in this drop

- In 5.0 compliant mode, the classfile name for an anonymous class is now correctly referring to its innermost enclosing type name, e.g. "X$1$1" for an anonymous nested inside another anonymous; where it was "X$2" before 5.0.
- Added compiler diagnosis to signal unused label (from labeled statement). Note that a label is considered to be used if explicitly referenced only.

      * COMPILER / Reporting Unreferenced Label
      *    When enabled, the compiler will issue an error or a warning when encountering a labeled statement which label
      *    is never explicitly referenced. A label is considered to be referenced if its name explicitly appears behind a break
      *    or continue statement; for instance the following label would be considered unreferenced;   LABEL: { break; }
      *     - option id:         "org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.problem.unusedLabel"
      *     - possible values:   { "error", "warning", "ignore" }
      *     - default:           "warning"

- Added API `org.eclipse.jdt.core.ToolFactory#createDefaultClassFileReader(java.io.InputStream,int)` that allows to the creation of an org.eclipse.jdt.core.util.IClassFileReader object using an input stream.
- Added API `JavaCore#addPreProcessingResourceChangedListener(IResourceChangeListener,int)` that allows to register an `IResourceChangedListener` for a given event type that runs before JDT Core.
- Added APIs to get the values of the @category tag in the Javadoc of a type, field or method: `IMember#getCategories()` and to get the children of a type for a given category `IType#getChildrenForCategory(String)`.

## What's new in this drop

- Added CharOperation API to perform CamelCase matching. This new matching mode will be leveraged into codeassist and search.

      * Answers true if the pattern matches the given name using CamelCase rules, or false otherwise.
      * char[] CamelCase matching does NOT accept explicit wild-cards '*' and '?'.
      *
      * CamelCase denotes the convention of writing compound names without spaces, and capitalizing every term.
      * This function recognizes both upper and lower CamelCase, depending whether the leading character is capitalized
      * or not. The leading part of an upper CamelCase pattern is assumed to contain a sequence of capitals which are appearing
      * in the matching name; e.g. 'NPE' will match 'NullPointerException', but not 'NewPerfData'. A lower CamelCase pattern
      * uses a lowercase first character. In Java, type names follow the upper CamelCase convention, whereas method or field
      * names follow the lower CamelCase convention.
      *
      * The pattern may contain trailing lowercase characters, which will be match in a case sensitive way. These characters must
      * appear in sequence in the name, after the last matching capital of the pattern. For instance, 'NPExcep' will match
      * 'NullPointerException', but not 'NullPointerExCEPTION'.
      public static final boolean camelCaseMatch(char[] pattern, char[] name)
      public static final boolean camelCaseMatch(char[] pattern, int patternStart, int patternEnd, char[] name, int nameStart, int nameEnd)

- Tuned new compiler diagnosis for raw type references. This problem can now be enabled independantly from unchecked type operations, and carries its own severity settings. Removed "Type safety:" prefix from problem description as it is not truly fragilizing type integrity. This warning can still be silenced by `@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")`

      * COMPILER / Reporting Raw Type Reference
      *    When enabled, the compiler will issue an error or a warning when detecting references to raw types. Raw types are
      *    discouraged, and are intended to help interfacing with legacy code. In the future, the language specification may
      *    reject raw references to generic types.
      *     - option id:         "org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.problem.rawTypeReference"
      *     - possible values:   { "error", "warning", "ignore" }
      *     - default:           "ignore"

- Added API `CategorizedProblem` to extend `IProblem` definitions with notion of problem category and marker type. This will enable other pluggable tool to participate in various compilation stages and report domain specific problems through the existing API (`IProblem` based). It is recommended that clients do not directly implement `IProblem` but instead do extend the abstract class `CategorizedProblem`.

      /**
       * Returns an integer identifying the category of this problem. Categories, like problem IDs are
       * defined in the context of some marker type. Custom implementations of CategorizedProblem
       * may choose arbitrary values for problem/category IDs, as long as they are associated with a different
       * marker type.
       * @return id - an integer identifying the category of this problem
       */
      public abstract int getCategoryID();

      /**
       * Returns the marker type associated to this problem, if it was persisted into a marker by the JavaBuilder
       * Standard Java problems are associated to marker type "org.eclipse.jdt.core.problem"), standard tasks
       * are associated to marker type "org.eclipse.jdt.core.task".
       * @return the type of the marker which would be associated to the problem
       * @see org.eclipse.jdt.core.IJavaModelMarker#JAVA_MODEL_PROBLEM_MARKER
       * @see org.eclipse.jdt.core.IJavaModelMarker#TASK_MARKER
       */
      public abstract String getMarkerType();

- Added API `IJavaElementDelta#F_AST_AFFECTED` and `IJavaElementDelta#getCompilationUnitAST()`. The Java element delta's flag is set to `F_AST_AFFECTED` when a reconcile operation affects the AST created in the last reconcile operation. In this case the AST should be re-acquired using `getCompilationUnitAST()`.
- Added API to encode and decode a classpath entry (`IJavaProject#encodeClasspathEntry(IClasspathEntry) and decodeClasspathEntry(String)`.
- Added API `IClassFile#becomeWorkingCopy(...)` that returns an `ICompilationUnit` in working copy mode on the given class file. See its Javadoc for more details.

- Compiler diagnosis for unnecessary cast is now able to recognize situations like:
  - `List l = (ArrayList) someList;`
  - `List foo(List someList) { return (ArrayList) someList;}`
- Compliance settings can now refer to "1.6" (aka "6.0") in addition to 1.3, 1.4 and 1.5. When classfile target is toggled to "1.6" the major/minor version will be adjusted accordingly. Some 1.6 specific attributes (e.g. StackMapTable) are not produced yet.

- Bug 48976 is now enabled again. A tool can be installed from update site to easily remove unnecessary nls tags. Copy the link as a new update site under Eclipse. The tool requires a build > 20050812.
  - nls tags are ignored in isolated line comments like:

        		...
        		// System.out.println(""); //$NON-NLS-1$
        		...

  - Other nls comments are reported as unnecessary if they don't match a corresponding string literal
  - The tool removes the unnecessary nls tags even if the line comment is used for another comment:

        String s = "Hello, World"; //$NON-NLS-1$ This won't be removed //$NON-NLS-2$ at all

    becomes:
