[jdt-core-dev] JDT/Core Patch available

[Philippe_Mulet@xxxxxxx]

We have posted on the JDT/Core project home page a patch for JDT/Core
containing our latest HEAD content addressing the list of issues appended
below.
Remember it may not be super stable yet, which is the reason why we haven't
put it yet in any integration build.

Providing it behaves correctly, we plan on releasing it publicly in January
(presumably on Jan. 9).

What's new in this drop
===========================
Added new compiler option to toggle compliance level (can be either "1.3"
or "1.4" - 1.3 being the default), and it will affect the behavior of the
compiler with respect to JLS 8.1.5 (inherited member shadows enclosing
one). Option is located on JavaCore#getOptions() and named
"org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.compliance" Accordingly, the batch compiler
accepts an extra command line argument "-1.3" or "-1.4" (1.3 compliance
being the default).
