| Re: [m2e-dev] [m2e-users] moving m2e to java7 past kepler sr0 |
This discussion is about version of java required to run m2e and has
nothing to do with the version of java used by the projects developed
using m2e. You can continue to compile for and run with any version of
java supported by JDT, which I believe is still something as old as 1.0.

HiIf you decide not to support java 6 anymore, I will have to decide *not*
As someone wrote few weeks ago, in big companies moving from java 5 or 6
to 7 s a big deal and a mid-term project.
I'm responsible of software developments in such company… developers are
working on about 30 java products. Using most of time java 6 and java 7
for recent projects.
For oldest one I do not want to invest on upgrading them… also I do not
want developers to maintain two development environments in parallel…
That's not fun, but that is an economic and industrial reality !

I do not think waiting for entire release train to move to java7 is
reasonable. Different release train participants have different target
audience, and I don't see why m2e has to be limited by one of 100+ other
projects that absolutely has to run on java 5 (or java 6).

_______________________________________________Can we align this somehow with the release train and what the release
train defines as the supported platforms? I think this is Java6 + Java7
for Kepler (I guess for SR0-2). If Luna continues to support Java6 as a
runtime platform, I think it would be good if m2e would also continue to
run on Java6.
Just my 2 cents,

I totally agree with the change to Java7. just because when using
Java7
you can still produce binaries to the target system in Java6 (if were
required).
If the binaries can run on Java 6 then that is all fine - but I read
the
request that Java 7 would be required to run.
People that don't want to change and use new features that only
can be
provided by new Java version should stay with the old version. The
same
will happen for teams that would like to use new Jetty 9 and its news
features.
Jetty 8 and 9 can coexist in eclipse - m2e old version and new cannot.
Very different things.
Most people that I know and use Mac is moving to Java7 due the
security
issues reported with Java6. Btw, Mountain Lion didn't come with Java
and
to install one you should use Java 7.
Most people I know are also on Java 7, but that is not the users that
there are the most of.
This is called observer bias and something to be vary aware of and
why we
collect actual user data instead of looking at the people we actually
meet in our day to day
work which tend to be years ahead of the main user adoption.

Hey!
Thanks, Max, for the heads-up here.
Yes, I can confirm very similar numbers from both the Spring Tool
Suite and the Groovy/Grails Tool Suite. We have about 55% running on
Java6. This number is even a bit higher on Mac (about 60%).
I also share the motivation for moving to Java7, but it would
cut off
something between 50% and 60% of our users (roughly speaking). So
please don't exclude them from new m2e versions that soon...!!! :-)
Thanks!!!

m2e-users@xxxxxxxxxxx <mailto:m2e-users@xxxxxxxxxxx>I'd like to propose moving m2e to require java7 execution
environment
after Kepler SR0 is out. I am getting really addicted to
try-with-resources syntax [1], and with java6 past it's eol [2]
already,
I see little/no reasons to stick with this version any longer.
Does anyone have a good reasons to stay with java 6 past this
coming
June? ("my IT department is too retarded to allow java7" is
probably
not
a good reason).
