Description Jacek Pospychala

hi,
DefaultScope.INSTANCE javadoc says that this field exists since 3.4, but it was newly added in 3.7.

See Indigo javadoc:
http://help.eclipse.org/indigo/topic/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/reference/api/org/eclipse/core/runtime/preferences/DefaultScope.html#INSTANCE

and for comparison, see javadocs from Eclipse 3.6:
http://help.eclipse.org/helios/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/reference/api/org/eclipse/core/runtime/preferences/DefaultScope.html

The preferences bundle (org.eclipse.equinox.preferences) was originally 3.3 and it was upped to 3.4 in Indigo. We do not tie the tag to the number of the Eclipse SDK.

Yes, it exists since version 3.4 of the bundle. Unrelated to the version of Eclipse that bundle was shipped in. Closing.
