Re: [platform-dev] Eclipse SWT Usage Change-External
|
As Microsoft is no longer maintaining old version of IE
(multi-billion-dollar-company) also eclipse-platform (manly feed by
volunteer work) can no longer maintaining older releases (java 8 is EOL
for a long time).
You can try to compile the source yourself, its very unlikely that it
still compiles without adjustments but will give you some impression of
what needs to be done.
If that's done and is of great value for your company, you can share
this and maintain your own java-8 compatible branch of SWT and then it
might be possible to make a release from it.

Hello Team,
Currently we are using SWT-4.5.x in our product, due removal plan of IE
browser support from Microsoft, we are forced to replace it with EDGE
browser.
EDGE browse support is available in SWT release 4.19 and later, these
versions binaries are compatible with only Java-11 however we need
Java-8 compatible binaries.
1. So even though Eclipse is releasing Java-11 compatible binaries,
source code is still compatible with Java-8? If Yes, Is it possible
to share the plan to support Java-8 compatible binaries?
2. Or will it be continued like this and Eclipse will release the
binaries compatible with Java-11 only?
