[jdt-ui-dev] Why can JDT not add support for Java 8 before Java 8 is final ?
|
Hi,
I know Java 8 have been a big task and is getting close to be resolved
which is awesome.
But there is one thing I can't get my head around and that is why this
line is on the Java 8 info wiki
(http://wiki.eclipse.org/JDT/Eclipse_Java_8_Support_%28BETA%29):
"Java™ 8 is not publicly released yet and hence the Eclipse Java 8
support cannot be shipped with an official build."
That does not compute for me. Every other IDE on the planet seem to
easily be able to add Java 8 support without full public release. Why
can't JDT ?
Reason I ask this is that as long as JDT keep Java 8 out of Eclipse Luna
milestones other projects (like WTP) won't be able to their java 8
related issues applied/tested large scale
(https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=426884) which I think is
bad for the overall quality of the eclipse release train.
So in short - could anyone enlighten me why this "java 8 must be
publicly released before eclipse can put it in an official build"-clause
exist ?
