Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] Kepler SR3 for Java 8?

Hi

Surely anyone trying to use Java 8 before June is a bleeding edge user, so what is wrong with M6/M7?

Any pretence that a J8 release, sooner than M7, is of higher quality than the M7 release is just misleading. Few projects have used it so there will be numerous serious but often trivial problems to fix. Bug 430875 is the first from me.

    Regards

        Ed Willink

My preference is for a full release. If that doesn't happen, we can discuss
an aggregate repo of patches, which doesn't paint Eclipse in the best light,
but is somewhat better than many separate repos with patches.

In any case, m2e does not plan to participate. Anyone who wants to use m2e
with java 8 support
on kepler will have to install m2e 1.5 milestone/snapshot build from m2e
specific repository.

Ok.

The issue is that features beyond JDT need to be updated before Java 8
is supported across various Eclipse features. In particular, WTP needs
Java 8 facet version before web application developers can take
advantage of Java 8. There may be others.

In case this goes forward, *could other projects that need to
distribute Java 8 enablement signal so on this thread so that we know
who would be
participating?*

Hi Konstantin

Can you explain why you need two patches? For me the given
instructions
<https://wiki.eclipse.org/JDT/Eclipse_Java_8_Support_For_Kepler>work
fine and those involve only one patch / repo.

I am wondering if we should do a limited SR release to pickup Java 8
patches. As it stands, Eclipse users interested in Java 8 would have
to hunt for and install at least two patches, which doesn't paint
Eclipse in a good light.

Thoughts?
