I would like to suggest that it would be very good for the Eclipse
IDE to time its Neon.3 release to include Java 9 support.
Java 9 release March 23, 2017. The proposed date below for Neon.3
is March 17, 2017. I am not sure I understand the comment that the
release would need to be "much later"?

Planning
the release dates for Oxygen.0
and Neon.X update releases
Sent by:
eclipse.org-planning-council-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx
I've updated the wiki with some *proposed*
Neon.x
and Oxygen.0 dates.
https://wiki.eclipse.org/Neon/Simultaneous_Release_Plan#Schedules
https://wiki.eclipse.org/Oxygen/Simultaneous_Release_Plan#Schedule
Some questions/concerns are listed below. Here's a summary of
the
release (GA) dates.
Neon.X GA dates are:
Neon.1: 09/23*
Neon.2: 12/16**
Neon.3: 03/17***
Oxygen.0 milestone dates are:
M1: 08/16
M2: 09/30*
M3: 11/11
M4: 12/16**
M5: 02/03
M6: 03/24***
M7: 05/05
RC1: 05/19
RC2: 05/26
RC3: 06/02
RC4: 06/09
GA: 06/21
* - This means we have Neon.1 released the week before we
release
Oxygen.0.M2, which provides some buffer/breathing space.
** - But for Neon.2 and Oxygen.0.M4, they're slated to land on
the
same date - Dec 16. We could push one a week later but that's
dangerous with holidays affecting developer availability.
Therefore,
we might need to move one of those a week earlier. If so,
which one --
Oxygen.0.M4 or Neon.2?
*** - The other possible conflict is around Oxygen.0.M6, which
drops
around the same week as Devoxx US (2017/03/21 to 03/23), JDK 9
GA
(2017/03/23), and the week after Neon.3. Should we move that
one too,
or is having Neon.3 just before Devoxx and M6 right after it a
reasonable approach? (We could switch them and even add
another week
for Neon.3, since it's the LAST update for Neon and needs to
definitely work with JDK 9. Therefore: Oxygen.0.M6: 03/17 or
03/24;
Neon.3: 03/30.)
-=-=
Another thing we could do is move the GA dates for the update
releases
to Wednesdays instead of Fridays, so there can be a better
marketing
splash mid-week.
What do you think?
