Problems using 2.4.6.201402042330 with Eclipse 3.6

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I've previously been using AnyEdit with an old Eclipse 3.6-based development 
environment that I created back in 2011.  I recently had to reinstall that 
environment.  I grabbed the latest AnyEdit version, which is not working.

When I go to project preferences, I see the error:

   Please enable "AnyEdit tools" on "General->Startup and Shutdown" page and restart Eclipse".  

The plugin log reports the following exception:

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: 
org/osgi/framework/Version.compareTo(Lorg/osgi/framework/Version;)I
   at de.loskutov.anyedit.AnyEditToolsPlugin.earlyStartup(AnyEditToolsPlugin.java:117)
   at org.eclipse.ui.internal.EarlyStartupRunnable.runEarlyStartup(EarlyStartupRunnable.java:87)
   at org.eclipse.ui.internal.EarlyStartupRunnable.run(EarlyStartupRunnable.java:73)
   at org.eclipse.core.runtime.SafeRunner.run(SafeRunner.java:42)
   at org.eclipse.ui.internal.Workbench$59.run(Workbench.java:2409)
   at org.eclipse.core.internal.jobs.Worker.run(Worker.java:54) 

The code it's complaining about is in the earlyStartup() method:

    public void earlyStartup() {
        // hooks into the global toolbar/menu
        if(EclipseUtils.getWorkbenchVersion().compareTo(new Version(3,7,0)) >= 0) {
            new StartupHelper2().init();
        } else {
            new StartupHelper().init();
        }
        setSaveHookInitialized(true);
    }

I guess org.osgi.framework.Version in my environment doesn't have a compareTo() 
method?

Also, I found an old version of the plugin in a backup (2.4.2.201205131655).  
This is apparently the version I was using before I reinstalled my development 
environment.  I fell back to this version, and it works.

Yep. My fault, sorry.

@provonic: can you please check the 2.4.7 version I've just uploaded?
Should now work on Eclipse 3.6.
Due the crazy gtk issues on Ubuntu 14.04 I can't even run Eclipse 3.6 without 
immediate crash...
Regards,
Andrey

I'll check it as soon as I can -- hopefully tomorrow.

I grabbed the jar from:

http://dl.bintray.com/iloveeclipse/plugins/#de.loskutov.anyedit.AnyEditTools_2.4
.7.201406221324.jar

and put it in my dropins folder.  It seems to work with no problems.

Thanks for the fix.

I have the same problem with version 2.4.13.201503032100 in Eclipse Kepler 
(Build 20140224-0627) on Windows 7 Prof SP1. I have tried to de-active the 
plugin, and after re-start of Eclipse to re-activate it, but it does not work 
even after the second re-start. Could you please fix it?
