Re: [eclipse-dev] Support for jdk 1.5

Markku,

The PR you mention does actually contain words from developpers:
see https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=36938#c28

Just to give you an update. We are working on the 1.5 support, but we are
not
only implementing a compiler, but all integrated tools for it as well. We
may
disclose some of the intermediate states, but we don't want to challenge
3.0.
You may expect some patches to be available, once we reach some stable
points,
and this will be merged into the main development stream only then.
When applying these patches, you will enable some 1.5 features, and any
feedback on these will be important to us.

So far, we currently have a 1.5 parser available, but we need to bring it
up to
speed with respect to syntax recovery requirements for all our tooling
(code
assist, code select, etc...). This is quite a bit of work, but we should be

able to make some good progress, given we are closing on our 3.0 feature
list
on other fronts.

We will try to have our JDT Core API reflect 1.5 evolutions by the 3.0
release.
This will mostly impact the DOM AST, the JavaModel, code assist and search.

Gradually, implementations will be backing up these new APIs, but this will

enable some tool makers to start investigating 1.5 support in parallel to
us
implementing our layer.

Hi,

There is lot of persons eager to get info about schedule of jdk 1.5
support.
There is plenty of people to signing up for: Bug 36938 Add early support
for J2SE 1.5 features , for info,
but no reply for developers.

This is like old IBM times using VAJ, when support for newer jdk's come
at least one jdk version behind.

We are running out of time for this support of jdk 1.5, because projects
starting now are intended to run jdk 1.5!

So please give us a sign to hold on eclipse or change to  ide's to
support generics, autoboxing  and other new stuff.

Rgds,
