Re: [jdt-core-dev] Building org.eclipse.jdt.annotation with Java7 fails
|
Hi Tom,
Are you really surprised that JDT for Java8 requires JRE8?
The build failure should normally happen when checking the BREE:
that bundle *should* require JavaSE-1.8. We just didn't set the
BREE to JavaSE-1.8, because our development environment doesn't
yet consistently support that BREE.
If you'd succeed building JDT on JRE7, running the tests on JRE7
would still trigger thousands of failures. I don't know what good
such a build would be.
If you really need to build JDT BETA_JAVA8 on JRE7 you might try
to remove org.eclipse.jdt.annotation[2.0.0,3.0.0) from the JDT feature.
If all goes well, this should "only" break the tests.
best,
Stephan

Hi,
I'm trying to build BETA_JAVA8 branch as part of a CBI build and it
fails in org.eclipse.jdt.annotation because you are using
java.lang.annotation.ElementType.TYPE_USE which is only available since
Java8.
So is this only an oversight or do you really require JDK8 for building
the next version of JDT?
