Re: [jdt-dev] Compiler compliance 1.7 - how to generify a Java project

[Markus Keller <markus_keller@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Yes, changing the BREE is one of the first
steps to update the compliance level for a project.

Note that I wrote "we can",
not "we have to". If components have a desire to stay at a lower
level, they can do that. In hindsight, we waited much too long with adoption
of 5/6/7 features. Java 6 has been EOL'd 2 years ago, and Java 7 will follow
soon.

The BREE table in the plan is a work-in-progress,
like the whole plan. The table typically gets updated to the final values
after M6 (API freeze).

Does that mean "change the BREE"?
If so, that's not how I would interpret that table. 

See 
https://www.eclipse.org/projects/project-plan.php?planurl=http://www.eclipse.org/eclipse/development/plans/eclipse_project_plan_4_5.xml#appendix

But, I am blue in the face from talking about this ... Are we "doing
apps" now? (instead of components?)

For Mars, we can raise the Java compiler compliance to 1.7 in all 
projects:
https://www.eclipse.org/projects/project-plan.php?planurl=http://www.eclipse.org/eclipse/development/plans/eclipse_project_plan_4_5.xml#target_environments

See this wiki page if you bump projects that are still below 1.5:
