[dtp-dev] Some releng decisions to make

[Konstantin Komissarchik <konstantin.komissarchik@xxxxxxxxxx>]

1. I think we should make all DTP plugins require Java 8. Currently, they require Java 5. This change would simplify the build as we would no longer require multiple JDK versions to build. It would have no functional impact on a Neon user since Neon platform already requires Java 8.

 

2. What should the next DTP version be? If we go with #1, it should be at least v1.13, but if we strictly follow the versioning convention, it should be v2. Raising Java version requirement is a breaking change even if we inherit the decision to move up from the platform.

 

Thanks,
