[oXygen-user] Using oXygen in IBM Rational Application Developer

[Sorin Ristache]

Hello,

As stated on the Download page and in the User Manual the Eclipse plugin 
distribution only supports the latest Eclipse version available at the 
release date. Usually the plugin also works in other Eclipse versions 
but when the Eclipse team introduces changes in the API accessed by the 
<oXygen/> plugin some features of the plugin stop working. The next 
version of <oXygen/> adapts to the API changes but the versions already 
released are left supporting what was available at the release date.

That means the API changes introduced between the stable Eclipse 
versions 3.0 and 3.1 limit you to the version 6.1 of the plugin.


Best regards,
Sorin
