Java 11 will be a requirement to compile and run Eclipse Platform project from 2020-09 release.

This means that CDT could continue to compile against and be supported on older versions of Eclipse Platform, and thus still only require Java 8. 

I don't like having CDT not keeping up with the Eclipse Platform because we have to support the latest Eclipse Platform release anyway due to CDT being part of SimRel and what is downloaded from https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/

Please see below.

This probably means that CDT should also be Java 11 for 2020-09 release. Please share your thoughts on this. 

Thanks,

Hello cross project people,
 
The Eclipse Project PMC has approved a change to the target environments for the 2020-09 Eclipse release of the Eclipse Project (that is, our 4.17 release) to be based on Java 11. This will allow us to include Jetty 10, when it is available as indicated here:
 
Given that this change has the potential to impact downstream projects, we are asking for feedback now: please let us know if you believe this will cause problems for your project.
 
Note that we are not asking teams to update the BREE for their components, and it is fine for components to support earlier versions of Java. This note is just identifying the version of Java that we will use to validate the September release, and thus will be the supported version for the Eclipse SDK.
 
thanks,
the Eclipse Project PMC
