Re: [jdt-ui-dev] JDT compatibility with 3.8?

[Markus Keller <markus_keller@xxxxxxxxxx>]

There was no explicit decision about that,
because it's just the normal flow of development that bundles can use the
latest version of other plug-ins in the release train.

However, for Kepler, JDT UI should work
fine with Eclipse 3.8 if you also update the required bundles (org.eclipse.jdt.core,
org.eclipse.jface, org.eclipse.equinox.bidi) to versions from master.

Looking forward, I can't promise that
this will be the same for org.eclipse.jdt.ui 3.10. But chances are quite
good, since we'll soon concentrate our efforts on the BETA_JAVA8 branch
again, with the goal to ship a Java-8-enabled JDT on top of Kepler as soon
as Java 8 is released. I.e., we probably won't consume new platform APIs
in the Luna timeframe.

HTH,
Markus

Subject:	[jdt-ui-dev] JDT compatibility with 3.8?

---

When looking at the jdt.ui repo master branch I see two
required bundles whose versions are not compatible with Eclipse 3.8:

org.eclipse.jface;bundle-version="[3.9.0,4.0.0)"
org.eclipse.equinox.bidi;bundle-version="[0.10.0,2.0.0)"

Was there an explicit decision to break backwards compatibility
with 3.8 in the Kepler release of the JDT?
