I have a big plug-in eclipse Indigo RCP program. Trying to migrate to Oxygen and Java 8 (from 7) I get problems with all om my setExpanded(false) regarding GridLayouts.
I get a response similar to ...GridLayout can not be casted to FillLayout. The strange thing is that this worked in Indigo. No changes to the code-base between the two versions. Apart from this Compact/Extend the program seems to work.
Any ideas??
Of course I can add the error-message but my question is if there are changes between indigo and Oxygen or even Neon and Oxygen that concern setExtend?
There is a bug report out there from 2014 but seems never to have been resoved.
