[eclipse-pmc] Upgrading the Eclipse SDK target environment for the *Sept

["Mike Wilson" <Mike_Wilson@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello cross project people,

 

The Eclipse Project PMC has approved a change to the target environments for the 2020-09 Eclipse release of the Eclipse Project (that is, our 4.17 release) to be based on Java 11. This will allow us to include Jetty 10, when it is available as indicated here:

    https://www.eclipse.org/lists/jetty-dev/msg03214.html

 

Given that this change has the potential to impact downstream projects, we are asking for feedback now: please let us know if you believe this will cause problems for your project.

 

Note that we are not asking teams to update the BREE for their components, and it is fine for components to support earlier versions of Java. This note is just identifying the version of Java that we will use to validate the September release, and thus will be the supported version for the Eclipse SDK.

 

thanks,

the Eclipse Project PMC
