Re: [emf-dev] EMF platform dependencies

Awesome, that's great to hear, Ed. This is good news for Mylyn adoption as it means that we can implement the newest EMF technologies (like resource locator support) and retain support for earlier versions of the platform.

We do not test that we run properly in any higher version (relative to the upper bound), but many other people do, i.e., many other projects depend on EMF and test their builds against Eclipse 3.8.x/3.9.0/4.2.x/4.3.0 so we're quite sure we run well in all those versions.  We're trying to be as flexible as possible so that clients can use the latest and greatest version of EMF in older versions of the Eclipse platform.
