Sorry, submitted too fast. The API clearly says this: Compares two given versions of the Java platform. The versions being compared must both be one of the supported values mentioned in COMPILER_CODEGEN_TARGET_PLATFORM, both values from COMPILER_COMPLIANCE, or both values from COMPILER_SOURCE. However, clients from launch are using this code to be able to support JDKs that are yet to be officially supported. And one might expect to be able to add any JDK from future to the build path and start working, even though the compliance itself may not be supported by JDT.
This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet. If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant. -- The automated Eclipse Genie.
