On planning to
contribute to JDT/Core project and work on a bug that has been taged as helpwanted; I've checked out the master branch of the JDT/Core project.
I finally managed to fix all compilation errors I faced during the setup of the
environment to start working.
So, I wanted to update the
http://wiki.eclipse.org/JDT_Core_Committer_FAQ so that new comers wouldn't face the same issues.
My questions are:
Q# 1- This link
http://wiki.eclipse.org/JDT_Core_Committer_FAQ states that the org.eclipse.jdt.core.tests.* projects should be checked out.
The problem is that these projects require J2SE-1.4 although the JDT/Core projects themselves have been updated to use JavaSE-1.6 as indicated by the FAQ page (updated by Stephan.herrmann.berlin.de
on 14th June, 2014)
Will the tests projects be updated as well, or the FAQ
document should be updated to include the JDK1.4 also (note I checked out the master branch and since the upgrade to JDK1.6 is recent, I'm not sure what to expect)?
Q# 2- I've used Eclipse Luna for development as well as the target API Baseline. I know the FAQ page says to use 3.8. But since there's no Eclipse 3.8, I don't really know what version of Eclipse I should be using.
Also, just to confirm I must use RCP edition, right?
Q# 3. Which branch should I be checking out to use in my case?
Your reply and time reading this email are highly appreciated.
