Description Mat Booth CLA 2020-06-11 06:07:49 EDT 
The tycho-eclipserun-plugin uses a default execution environment of JavaSE-1.7

How can this possibly be a sane default with modern Eclipse Platforms that have a minimum EE requirement of JavaSE-1.8

I suggest this default is changed for tycho 2.0.0 -- Eclipse Platform has had support for JavaSE-11 for a long time and is soon moving to JavaSE-11 as a minimum let's also change this default to JavaSE-11 too.

A change in default behaviour is probably worth a release note.
