Re: [Dltk-dev] we are over to java 5?

[Andrey Platov <andrey@xxxxxxxxx>]

Agree with Jae, also for platform, etc dependencies the situation looks to be simple: DLTK 1.0 is going to go with Galileo (3.5) train, so Galileo compatibility is a MUST goal. If we'd be able to preserve Ganymede (3.4) compatibility (which is very likely) - that's great! If we'd be able to preserve Europe (3.3) compatibility - that would be either very great or... not relevant at all - until somebody express an interest to run DLTK 1.0 on eclipse 3.3 (there are some 3.3 based offerings exists, which includes DLTK, but I'm not sure such offerings will continue to use 3.3 at the moment of Galileo release).

So I'd like to propose to simplify things: Galileo is an obvious target. Ganymede compatibility would be really great. If someone would have a reasons to break Ganymede compatibility - let's discuss this in public. As for 3.3 compatibility (probably for some components like core), please share your thoughts/plans.

Kind Regards,
Andrey

 the tcl plugin requires 3.4 at this point b/c some of the other plugins it relies upon (ie: emf) also require 3.4 - see here: http://www.eclipse.org/modeling/emf/downloads/

 the validators code now relies on emf as well, although that code is all new and only is only related to preference configuration (which is currently only used by the tcl plugin), so if you've implemented any validators (or are using the the external validators plugin) i think you should still be fine using 3.3 with the 1.0 release.

  sooner or later a move to 3.4 as the default target will be required - when will depend on either the dltk folks mandating it or you wishing to implmenent new features based upon exisiting code that requires it.

i am fine with java 5
(how about the eclipse you want to target with 1.0? what version does that still want?)

OK folks, Java 1.4 is End of Life: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/ ... should not we stop care of Java 1.4 compatibility for DLTK 1.0 release? Any objections to allow Java 5 code?

  i thought the validator code had also moved over to 1.5 based on the latest commits.

Hi Johan,

At the moment java 5 should be only in Tcl plugins.
dltk.debug is to be 1.4 compatible for now, I will check it.

Regards,
Alex

i see some commits coming in for that
also dltk.debug doesnt compile from cvs because the classpath isnt set to 1.5 yet but still to 1.4
