Compare Directories plugin exception

I'm a big fan of the Compare Directory plugin, and I've just tried using it with the new EAP (9684) but it fails with a NoSuchMethodError

It seems com.intellij.ui.content.ContentManager#setSelectedContent(@NotNull Content content, boolean requestFocus); has changed signature and now returs an ActionCallback, so the plugin has to be rebuilt.

Olivier, are you still maintaining it ?

Hello Thibaut,

I'm a big fan of the Compare Directory plugin, and I've just tried
using it with the new EAP (9684) but it fails with a NoSuchMethodError

It seems
com.intellij.ui.content.ContentManager#setSelectedContent(@NotNull
Content content, boolean requestFocus); has changed signature and now
returs an ActionCallback, so the plugin has to be rebuilt.

Don't hurry to fix this - we plan to restore the API compatibility in 8.1
final release.

Dmitry,

Is the old signature of the method com.intellij.ui.content.ContentManager.setSelectedContent(Content, boolean) to be deprecated?

In other words, even though the API compatibility is restored for this method in the 8.1 final release, should I better adapt the plugin for future IDEA releases and make it use the new method signature?

Thanks,
Olivier.

PS: Thibaut, yes, I still maintain the plugin. But I have to admit I didn't look at the forum for some time now.
And last time I checked whether the plugin was still working fine was for the IDEA 8 major release. I didn't think IDEA8.1 would be a problem (thanks for your mail then).

Olivier, was just wondering, as I didn't you see posting in a while
And, as I already delved in the plugin source, and because I find it very valuable, I was willing to offer help if needed.
Happy to hear you're still taking good care of it though !

No, the old signature will not be deprecated. There will be a new method
returning ActionCallback.
