Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] EF plans to raise awareness of Java 8 sup

[John Arthorne <John_Arthorne@xxxxxxxxxx>]

For things coming in the Luna timeframe,
I think the best answer will be to point people at the release train development
stream builds and repository. By May 9th there will be a stable build of
the entire release train that includes the Java 8 tooling support for all
projects (assuming they are doing it for Luna). I think most consumers
will happily wait for that if they have demands beyond the basic JDT support,
rather than cobbling together bits and pieces from unstable builds of various
projects.

We would certainly be willing to keep a page (perhaps a wiki page) that
contains a list of other Java 8 enabled features. But we do not want to
bury the lede that JDT is supporting Java 8. That is what the vast 
majority of developers will care about. Perhaps closely followed by WTP
support.

I am _not_ solid technically on this stuff, so I am probably going to 
suggest something embarrassingly dumb. But perhaps we need a shared 
repository where projects who wish to can publish their Kepler SR2 
features which support Java 8?
