Description Nick Boldt CLA 2013-12-11 11:28:45 EST
Looking at the current project plans for Eclipse 4.3 [1] and 4.4 [2], I see that the only platforms for which JDK 7 is used are:

* RHEL 6 w/ Oracle Java 7u45 or Open JDK 7u40 
* OSX 10.8 w/ Oracle Java 7u45
* Windows 7 w/ Oracle Java 7u45

Yet for Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, only JDK 6 is listed, though it's available in their repo [3].

Is that intentional, or an oversight?

Aside: also wondering which versions of GTK are tested w/ Ubuntu. We're finding issues w/ GTK3 + Luna M3 so it might make sense to explicitly state whether you mean GTK2 (RHEL6) or GTK3 (Ubuntu).

This has been dealt with in the draft of plan update 2. We're also discussing to replace JRE 6 with JRE 8, which should also work for Ubuntu, right?

Bug 429044 deals with that.
