Description David Williams CLA 2013-07-08 08:35:40 EDT 
We do not build this bundle any longer (as part of production builds). 
(It is listed in org.eclipse.core.tools feature, along with 
org.eclipse.core.tools.resources and
org.eclipse.core.resources.spysupport

But now shows compile errors in my workbench, such as missing packages/classes:

import org.eclipse.core.runtime.internal.stats.BundleStats;
import org.eclipse.core.runtime.internal.stats.StatsManager;

to name a few. 

This could easily be "user error", but seemed to happen shortly after recent Equinox changes. 

I suggest making it "compile clean" if there's any usefulness to it ... otherwise, we should "retire" it from repo (at least master), to avoid (my :) confusion.
Comment 1 Thomas Watson CLA 2013-07-08 08:43:59 EDT 
I can take a look at this.  It obviously is using internals of equinox that got removed in luna.  Not sure how much time we should spend in this if we no longer are building them.
Comment 2 John Arthorne CLA 2013-07-08 09:14:41 EDT 
We never traditionally built this bundle, but I know some people (including myself) occasionally install and use it. I suggest whatever minimal fix to get rid of compile errors so the other parts of the tools bundle can still be used. If there is no equivalent of BundleStats just comment out that part of the tool.
Comment 3 Thomas Watson CLA 2013-07-08 15:08:30 EDT 
I commented out everything to make core.tools compile.

If there is enough interest we could provide a system bundle fragment to get the class loading and bundle stat stuff for the core.tools available.  Should be possible, but also is not a simple undertaking.

Thank you ... you know how I hate red X's. :)
