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

[David M Williams <david_williams@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Yes, you said it better than I did ...
I just meant, that it is typically decided bundle by bundle, based on what
the bundle "needs", instead of what is in "target
environments". 

For readers of this list, that are not
aware of it, you might also read Bug 459399
(I am not sure if or when the PMC
will change "the official policy" but that bug gives a lot of
the pros and cons).

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:
