INFO FOR PEOPLE ADDING CHANGES:

Check the DTD (apichanges.dtd) for details on the syntax. You do not
need to regenerate the HTML, as this is part of Javadoc generation; just
change the XML. Rough syntax of a change (several parts optional):

<change>
    <api name="compiler"/>
    <summary>Some brief description here, can use <b>XHTML</b></summary>
    <version major="1" minor="99"/>
    <date day="13" month="6" year="2001"/>
    <author login="jrhacker"/>
    <compatibility addition="yes"/>
    <description>
        The main description of the change here.
        Again can use full <b>XHTML</b> as needed.
    </description>
    <class package="org.openide.compiler" name="DoWhatIWantCompiler"/>
    <issue number="14309"/>
</change>

Also permitted elements: <package>, <branch>. <version> is API spec
version, recommended for all new changes. <compatibility> should say
if things were added/modified/deprecated/etc. and give all information
related to upgrading old code. List affected top-level classes and
link to issue numbers if applicable. See the DTD for more details.

Changes need not be in any particular order, they are sorted in various
ways by the stylesheet anyway.

Dates are assumed to mean "on the trunk". If you *also* make the same
change on a stabilization branch, use the <branch> tag to indicate this
and explain why the change was made on a branch in the <description>.

Please only change this file on the trunk! Rather: you can change it
on branches if you want, but these changes will be ignored; only the
trunk version of this file is important.

Deprecations do not count as incompatible, assuming that code using the
deprecated calls continues to see their documented behavior. But do
specify deprecation="yes" in <compatibility>.

This file is not a replacement for Javadoc: it is intended to list changes,
not describe the complete current behavior, for which ordinary documentation
is the proper place.

                <p>
                    Runtime compatibility remains, compile time compatibility is
                    mostly preserved too. It is however recommended to upgrade
                    dependencies of client modules. Try running
                    <code>ant fix-dependencies</code> in your Ant module.

            <description>
                If a transformation moves a Tree node elsewhere, or produces a replacement of it, it can now mark the new tree as a 'replacement' for the old one,
                which causes whitespaces (most notably comments) to attach to the replacement node.

                 individually which is inefficient.

                The JavaSource.runModificationTask(), runWhenScanFinished() and runUserActionTask() never call the cancel method of the
                CancellableTask, the implementor of such a CancellableTask just writes an empty cancel method. The compatible API
                change splits the CancellableTask into Task with run method and CancellableTask which extends the Task by cancel method.
                The JavaSource methods mentioned above take Task rather than CancellableTask. The CancellableTask is used only for tasks
                registered by factories.

                The ClassIndex methods called from the CancellableTask are cancellable. In case when they are cancelled by the JavaSource infrastructure
                they return null instead of the Set to allow client to determine this state. The incompatible semantic change is that tasks registered by
                factories have to check if the value returned from class index is null.

                There is no simple way how to weakly reference all elements from javac. For instance local variables cannot be referenced by
                ElementHandles while source-less Elements cannot be referenced by TreePathHandles. This fix allows to create TreePathHandles 
                for any javac Element (both local and source less).

                The JavaSource.runWhenScanFinished performs the given task either synchronously when no background scan is running. When the background
                scan is running the task is performed asynchronously when the scan completes.

                The refactoring and find usages need to find the dependent roots of a project root in which the refactored type
                is declared, but finding such an information using the project API may be very expensive especially when lots of
                projects is opened. The goal of this API is to provide and cache this information.

                The listener for listening on changes in the <code>ClassIndex</code> was added. The listener fires
                events when a declared type was removed, added, changed in the <code>ClassIndex</code> oe when the underlaying
                <code>ClassPath</code> was changed.
