Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] jdt.core move to Java 7 BREE
|
Hi Ed
We always publish our plan and all updates
to the 'eclipse-dev' list. The next plan update will be for M6. You can
also follow the plan update discussions in the corresponding plan update
bugzillas in the Platform PMC component. The one for M6 is https://bugs.eclipse.org/458730.
As Alex mentioned, that will also update the appendix with the BREEs.
Note that besides the supported target
environments of the Platform, there is usually also a discussion what the
lowest JRE is for the packages (EPPs). This is decided by the package maintainers.
For Luna most were already requiring JRE 7.
As for why we didn't send a note, simply
because we changed bundle BREEs many times in the past years without ever
announcing it.
Sorry if this caused any troubles for
you!

Re: [cross-project-issues-dev]
jdt.core move to Java 7 BREE
Sent by:

Hi
I think that this thread is about both.
Nobody has advanced a strong argument for retaining Java 6 support, so
we can move on without upsetting anybody.
Doug: if you examine the tabulated per-plugin BREEs in the platform project
plan you will see a clear indication that jdt.core is 1.6. (The only 1.7
is the filesystem.java7 bundle.)
Therefore IMHO this change should have been announced:
a) because it was a change to the platform project plan
b) because it clearly has an impact on many other projects
Regards
Ed Willink

Is this thread about what minimum BREE to use, or is it
about announcing changes to this? I agree with most people here that Java
7 is a sensible minimum BREE for Mars, but I get the sense that this thread
was more about how / where these changes are announced.
Cheers,

And we have a solution for this too --> LTS. If someone wants support
for Eclipse for an older version of Java, then LTS would be the obvious
recommendation. :)

I say: it should be every version receiving security updates public and
free accessible for the community (committers, contributors and users).
As of May 2015, Java 7 will fall out of that list. But that's just my two
cents.
