Re: [jdt-dev] Community testing for BETA_JAVA23?
|
We're about midway between my previous mail and JDK 23 GA, and from all I can
tell we are well in schedule.
Two issues are still in progress:
* [23] JEP 455: Primitive Types in Patterns, instanceof, and switch (Preview)
* [23] JEP 467: Markdown Documentation Comments
In both issues part of the implementation is functional already.
Would we be able to briefly explain to users what works, and what doesn't?
I personally will shift gears now in order to dive into more corner cases where
the implementation needs hardening. But that's exactly the phase that would best
be done with feedback from the community! :)
Are we ready to post a patch feature on the market place? If not, what is still
missing for that step?
If just the mechanics of creating a patch feature and posting it on the market
place are the current bottle neck, would it make sense to advertise
https://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/4.33-Y-builds/ instead?
thanks,
Stephan
PS: The UI part for markdown documentation comments is not yet present in the
latest Y-build, and so I cannot say for sure if the Y-build will automatically
contain the new dependencies from org.commonmark. But generally, the SDK can be
installed from the Y-build site into a 2024-06 Committers IDE with just a little
tweaking, and passes smoke tests :) :)

We aren't making patches yet and hence no update site. However, we do have internal
builds off BETA_JAVA23 branches. The latest is here -
https://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops4/Y20240715-1000/
I will work with Rahul to set up the Patch build and then we can inform the community, perhaps
on the eclipse-dev and cross-projects-dev and perhaps. We haven't done this before, but we can
even try the social media, like X.

Jay

Subject: [EXTERNAL] [jdt-dev] Community testing for BETA_JAVA23?
When I think of the great bustle towards Java 8, a big asset for Eclipse was the great community, playing with our implementation as it was still in beta status and reporting many bugs. These bug reports were an essential part of the success story back then.
Fast-forward to Java 23, I believe we already have some interesting progress at least in these JEPs:
* JEP 476: Module Import Declarations (Preview)
* JEP 477: Implicitly Declared Classes and Instance Main Methods (Third Preview)
* JEP 482: Flexible Constructor Bodies (Second Preview)
See the umbrella https://github.com/eclipse-jdt/eclipse.jdt.core/issues/2212
Do we have an update site for BETA_JAVA23 branches for early adopters?
Is it time to send an initial invitation to try it to the community?
If so, which forum?
thanks,
Stephan
