Rider 2021.1 EAP: NoClassDefFoundError: com/jetbrains/rider/projectView/ProjectModelViewHost

Hi everyone,

I have a plugin that needs to work with Project View (get selected files, get a project file and so on).

But since Rider 2021.1 EAP I get the following:

Plugin 'com.myplugin' failed to initialize and will be disabled. Please restart JetBrains Rider.
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/jetbrains/rider/projectView/ProjectModelViewHost

The API was removed in the end:

• com.jetbrains.rider.projectView.ProjectModelViewHost
• import com.jetbrains.rider.projectView.nodes.ProjectModelNode
• maybe that's not all

It turns out that incompatible changes were made in Rider 2021.1 EAP ?

Please can you tell me how I can make a plugin to work with Project View to be able to work with Rider < 2021 and 2021.1+ ?

Thank you very much in advance for your help!
