[epp-dev] Missing or wrong osgi.requiredJavaVersion

[Eike Stepper <stepper@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

It seems that the Platform has started to require Java 1.7 in some of the core bundles (e.g. core.contenttype), which 
implies that all Mars packages should ship with p2 touchpoint instructions that add -Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.7 to 
the eclipse.ini files. But that doesn't seem to be the case. If I'm not mistaken the following packages still specify 
their products with a pre-1.7 Java requirement:

    - modeling
    - reporting
    - jee
    - java
    - dsl

BTW., the Platform itself doesn't seem to specify respective touchpoint instructions at all:

    <unit id='toolingorg.eclipse.sdk.ide.ini.win32.win32.x86_64' version='4.5.0.I20150320-0800' singleton='false'>
      <provides size='2'>
        <provided namespace='org.eclipse.equinox.p2.iu' name='toolingorg.eclipse.sdk.ide.ini.win32.win32.x86_64'

        <provided namespace='toolingorg.eclipse.sdk.ide' name='org.eclipse.sdk.ide.ini' version='4.5.0.I20150320-0800'/>

          </instruction>
        </instructions>
      </touchpointData>
    </unit>
