Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] Using Java 5 language features in WTP 2.0


I was cleaning up my mailbox and saw this.  You will be interested to know that PDE supports specifying and compiling against specific "Execution Environments" (see http://help.eclipse.org/help32/topic/org.eclipse.pde.doc.user/guide/tools/editors/manifest_editor/overview.htm for more information).  All plugins should set their Execution Environment to ensure that they are compiled and run correctly.

[cross-project-issues-dev] Using Java 5 language features in WTP 2.0





On the status call today we agreed to the following policy:
  • Implementations in the “common” component will be restricted to 1.4.x VM levels, which implies Java 1.4 language features (no Java 5 features, such as generics). However, developers can request permission of the PMC to use Java 5 language features on a plugin-by-plugin basis.
  • All other components in WTP are free to use Java 5 language features, and WTP as a project will require a Java 5-level VM in the 2.0 (“Europa”) release and will need to be compiled with a Java 5-level compiler.
 
Maintenance releases on the 1.x lines (1.5.1, 1.5.2, etc.) are unchanged – they are still restricted to Java 1.4 language features and must compile and run on a Java 1.4 JDK/VM.
