Code mining on line end |
The abstract org.eclipse.jface.text.codemining.LineEndCodeMining class was added to create code-minings
that are expected to be displayed as annotations after the line content. Any ICodeMiningProvider can return
on of those LineEndCodeMining additionally to existing ones.

Notification builder |
In addition to the Notification API released with Eclipse 4.17, the 4.22 release added a Notification builder .

Contribute adapter to display debug value code minings |
In order to make debug values visible inline for users who enabled this feature, your debugger support can contribute

Sleak view improvements |

Equinox Changes |
|
Define trusted PGP keys in extensions |
The org.eclipse.p2.engine.pgp extension-point was added to p2. It allows plug-ins
to define some PGP public keys that are to be considered as trusted by default.
Changes to such a contribution when upgrading or removing their contributing plug-ins will directly impact the set of trusted keys without further action. |
Determining a bundle's file location has been improved |
The location of a bundle in the local file system can now be obtained by adapting the bundle to the File class:
org.osgi.framework.Bundle.adapt(java.io.File.class)
A more conventient way is to call the new method getBundleFileLocation(Bundle) in org.eclipse.core.runtime.FileLocator ,
which returns an Optional to reflect the fact that not in all cases the file-system location of a bundle can be determined.
This method is intended as a replacement for FileLocator.getBundleFile(Bundle) and does not throw an IOException .
Both methods now run significantly faster than FileLocator.getBundleFile(Bundle) did before.
