[tools-pmc] TCF would like to piggy-back on the Oxygen RC4a respin
Dear Tools PMC,

The TCF project would like to piggy-back on the Oxygen RC4a respin on Tuesday (in case it happens), and requests tools-pmc support for this as per the Simrel exception process.

Our rationale:
When updating our releng / build infrastructure after our Oxygen contribution, it turned out that newer build JRE required a newer Tycho, which in turn uncovered one invalid pom.xml (that did not cause any issues with older Tycho). Bottomline: our binaries contributed to Oxygen are fine, but nobody could build it from source unless using Java 7 with Tycho-0.22 .  This is not a blocker for users (so we'd not request a respin just for that). But we'd much appreciate cleaning this up, to make our Oxygen binaries consistent with the source builds so we'd like to piggy-back if a respin occurs.

TCF is not in any epp package, and I'm not aware of any downstream consumers on simrel so the risk should be minimal.

Our updated contribution has been made available as rc4a . A Gerrit for simlrel is ready and verified by Simrel Hudson, so this can merge if the tools-pmc / planning council agrees on the respin:
https://git.eclipse.org/r/#/c/99564/

I'll be happy to answer any questions, and would like to requests the tools-pmc's support at the planning council.

Thanks!
Martin

Hi,

Respin of RC4 is scheduled for Tuesday, June 20th, if the fix is in and
no additional blockers have been found by Monday night CET.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Regards,

Fred
