Eclipse Handly 1.3 has just been released. This release brings significant enhancements to the provided snapshot implementations. Also, it introduces out-of-the-box support for source files backed by IFileStore and a method for accessing the annotation model of a buffer.
There are no breaking API changes in this release.
We are pleased to announce the availability of Eclipse Handly 1.1 release.
For some time, the project was concentrating on the Core framework and, with the 1.0 release this June, has reached stability for the Core API. The 1.1 release is focused on the UI side of things. To that end, it polishes existing UI components and provides new ones, such as integration with Search View and an initial support for Call Hierarchy View.
You do not necessarily have to implement the API for handle-based models provided by the Handly Core to be able to use Handly UI components; much of the code is fairly generic and can be reused in other contexts. Of course, if you do implement the handle-based API, the UI components will take full advantage of that.
Please note, however, that the UI API is still not as mature as the Core API and might need further polishing. The UI bundles in this release have version 0.10 to indicate a slim chance that their API may still change in a breaking way. Particularly, the initial API for Call Hierarchy should be considered provisional and subject to change.
Having said that, we would like to invite potential adopters to take a look and leave feedback; as always, it would be much easier to fix any discovered API deficiencies early on.
