Re: [cdt-dev] CDT 8 builds now requires Eclipse 3.7

[Doug Schaefer <cdtdoug@xxxxxxxxx>]

Yes there is ABI incompatibility but it's the right way. Something
built against 3.7 won't run against 3.6, which is to be expected. We
ran into the same thing with 1.5 when StringBuffer added an
append(String) method which prevented us from running against 1.4 even
though we didn't code against it.
