Known Issues
Support for Eclipse 3.8.2
Support for Eclipse 4.4 Luna
Support for Java 7
Installing Actifsource
- Starting with the release of Eclipse 4.4 Luna (June 25, 2014), we will drop the support for eclipse 3.8.2
Support for Eclipse 4.4 Luna
- Actifsource is now running on Eclipse 4.4 Luna
Support for Java 7
- We will drop the support of Java 7 by the end of 2014
Installing Actifsource
- Actifsource sets the memory settings automatically after installing and restarting
- The Restart-Button displayed after the plugin installation, restarts eclipse in such a way that it still uses the old memory settings
- To prevent OutOfMemoryExceptions you need to completely close eclipse (File, Exit or Close-Button) and start it again
Code Snippets
- Poor performance in the actual version
Compatiblity Issues
- IBuildContext.out() was replaced by IBuildContext.info() in 6.3.0

Environment
Generator
CIP
- CodeSnippetRelationAspekt on CodeSnippetRelation must be required
- StructuredCodeSnippetRelation must be initialized with StructuredCodeSnippetRelationAspekt
- Using some Selector-Operators with literals resulted in wrong return type
- NoSuchElementException when returning a Selector-Expression of List-Type inside a SelectorFunction with Simple-ReturnType
- Return empty list instead of null if a SelectorFunction with Simple-Type-Expression evaluated to "null" is called via java-proxy
Environment
- Actifsource UI freezes for a while shortly after being started (Too many name updates sent to ui thread)
- Handle numbers in Sort-Property-action (show A10 after A2).
Generator
- Improved try-finaly close context handing to ignore problems caused by invalid java classes and log the error instead of failing (work in progress)
- required dependency from output project to template (build config) project (show validation error)
CIP
- StackOverflow if defining recursive libraries not handled properly
- SelectorEvaluationException in SyncMessageCastWriteJob
