ADT Feature Availability Matrix for AS ABAP Releases

[ThFiedler]

With the ABAP development tools for eclipse we follow the strategy that the latest eclipse client is compatible with all ABAP backends with version 7.31 SP4 and higher. Most of the basic features in the area of source code editing are available against all these backend versions. But as some of the features are dependent from backend functionality it is clear that not all features are available against every backend system version. This fact often confuses the developers working with eclipse.

Therefore I will try to give you an overview about which features of the ABAP development tools for eclipse are available against which backend system. To make things easier I will only focus on the latest client version.
