Description Ed Burnette

In 3.1M6, IWorkbench.getCommandSupport() is deprecated; comments say to use
IWorkbench.getAdapter(ICommandSupport.class). If that's the preferred pattern,
then it seems to me that IWorkbench.getBrowserSupport() should be replaced with
IWorkbench.getAdapter(IBrowserSupport.class). Other methods in this interface
should be reviewed too, especially the ones added in 3.1 such as
getOperationSupport(). 

Although the API is supposed to be frozen for 3.1 it would be better to fix
these problems before 3.1 goes production than create more deprecations
afterwards. This would probably require PMC approval.

From my perspective, this is the preferred pattern for any type of support that
might be provided in a localized context.  This is the same pattern that is
proposed as part of the component framework.  So, if someone might get browser
support from an IWorkbenchPartSite or something like that, then following the
proposed component pattern makes sense (to me <g>).

For the record, this is part of the reason why getCommandSupport() and
getContextSupport() were changed.

There are currently no plans to work on this although we would be happy to review a patch

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
