EAP 992 - Project.putUserData() no longer around...

Bah. Looks like you've been hit even harder than I am. I used Editor.put|getUserData(String)
but now UserDataHolder.put|getUserData() takes a com.intellij.util.Key object as
argument. Looks like it should be no prob to convert, but annoying (especially for all the
plugin users out there) anyway.

I just used this in my plugin :( Doesn't anyone deprecate things in
IntelliJ?

JDOMExternalizableList is now gone completely. I wonder what the motivation for this move
was. At least an intermediate step with deprecating these methods/classes would have been
required IMHO. Even if it's EAP and things may change, I don't see any technical reason why
deprecating this stuff was not possible, which would have saved a lot of plugin developers and
users a lot of trouble. I'm sorry to say that, but this not the way to make people happy...

Yes, we've changed UserDataHolder to accept Key class as key only. Sorry for
unconvenience.

What about the missing JDOMExternalizeableList? I hope you don't mind that I use the
source code from an older openapi_stub.jar as a workaround...

Ahh - UserDataHolder. I'll go look at it.

Actually, maybe there's a better way for what I want. My plugin has two
components, the main plugin, and the configurable, I was storing a
reference to my configurable model object in the Project/userData so it
could be shared. Maybe theres a more proper way for this>?

How does one use this Key class? Looking at it uses Generics......

Also, which .jar is the Key class found in?

It has been renamed to JDOMExternalizeableStringList. This class extends ArrayList]]> which is VERY unfortunate as I am sure you know already from my previous posts since IDEA won't understand the template base class unless you are running in generic mode.
All your files that are using the inherited entry points from ArrayList will show up with errors.

Other than that you can as you mentioned copy the old implementation (which I did ;) and hopefully IntelliJ guys won't mind.

So how do we use this Valentin? I can't even -FIND- the Key class ( not
in idea.jar or openapi.jar ). Let alone conceive how to use the generic'd
type.

And unlike Alain and co, I don't -really- want to hack in the old OpenAPI
if I can...

Sounds like you should make your Configuration a ProjectComponent itself and obtain it by calling project.getComponent(YourConfiguration.class)

Is this what you need?
