Dear All,
We are pleased to announce the Java 20 support for Eclipse 2023-03 (4.27).
The release notably includes the support of the following Java 20 features:
JEP 433: Pattern Matching for switch (Fourth Preview)
JEP 432: Record Patterns (Second Preview)
The release can be obtained through one of the following ways:
Java 20 Marketplace entry : https://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/java-20-support-eclipse-2023-03-427
P2 update site : https://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/4.27-P-builds/
Additionally, the Java 20 support will be available on 4.28 from an integration build soon - will send out a mail once the merge is done.
As usual, most of the known issues have been retargeted mostly to 4.28 timeframe and rest to the next Java version as appropriate.
I would also like to take this opportunity to thank everyone – the team, contributors, bug reporters, early adopters, and one and all - involved in Java 20 support. Special mention to all who took
care of non-Java 20 support related activities to keep the master going forward, which helped to focus and prioritize Java 20 work.
Thanks and Regards,
Manoj N Palat
