Description Karsten Thoms CLA 2019-03-18 03:51:52 EDT 
The Platform project has marked IPluginDescriptor for deletion in 2015. EMF still uses this class in EMFPlugin$EclipsePlugin, but the constructor that uses it was  already deprecated in 2004. It is finally time to remove it.

Comment 2 Ed Merks CLA 2019-03-21 11:38:29 EDT 
I've changed the title to reflect the broader removal to include removal of IPlatformRunnable as well.  This ensure that when IPlatformRunnable there will already exist versions of EMF that will still run properly in that environment.

Clients should only see the impact of this if they assign to IPlatformRunnable which has been hidden and deprecated for a very long time.
