Re: [cdt-dev] Re: Moving CDT 4.0 to Java 1.5
|
It may be considered inappropriate to debate this, but I'll submit my
opinion that this argument is somewhat flawed. The platform supports
many, many different projects, and because of that, it has an
extremely high resistance to a JDK change. This makes sense. But to
the then use that fact as the basis for keeping individual projects
from moving forward is equivalent to saying: "everyone moves together
or no one moves at all", which is unreasonably restricting given the
massive size and diversity of the Eclipse community.
Since it's been declared that everyone has veto power, I think it's
not unreasonable for someone to submit a counter-argument. If this
was a majority vote, I would have kept quiet and let the tally speak
for itself. I'll also refrain from any further debate on this subject.

I have to vote -1 on this because there will be a number of
developers who are required to stay on Java 1.4.2 for any number of
reasons, since the Eclipse platform still supports it. It could be
clumsy and error-prone for them to have to switch to using 1.5.0
only when they do C/C++ development.
I'd vote for upgrading to 5.0 (or later) when the Eclipse platform
no longer works with 1.4.2.
