Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] jdt.core move to Java 7 BREE
Our consensus has always been to not have a consensus. Each project moved to where they needed to be when they needed to be. Obviously the decisions of other projects affect yours, particularly the platform. And for that, I go by their project plan which has no mention of JRE 6 for Mars.

Hi

(I would love it if Mars required Java 8, since I like @NonNull annotations and the Java 7 compatibility is really troublesome.)

However I am keen that my project follows the Eclipse consensus, which does not seem to exist. My Hudson builds now fail so I need to know where the new consensus is.

What is the rationale for wanting to keep BREE levels as low as possible? Even Java 7 enters the “no further public updates” phase in April of this year. JRE 7 users in the normal update pipeline were upgraded to Java 8 in January. Are there really users out there who _cannot_ run a newer version of the JRE despite security and performance implications of running an old version? I am guessing that if Mars were to require Java 8, there would be some initial grumbling over having to upgrade, then everyone moves on in a better and more secure configuration.

Hi

But this is important.

When osgi.utils moved from Java 5 to Java 6 that made Eclipse almost unuseable as a Java 5 platform; not really a problem.

Now jdt.core does nearly the same thing for Eclipse as a Java 6 platform. Are we ready to go that far? IMHO it certainly should be discussed and announced.

Hi Ed

Yes, this was intended. We never announce BREE changes.

Hi

Is the recent change in BREE for org.eclipse.jdt.core from Java 6 to
Java 7 intended?

Was it announced?
