[nebula-dev] BREE of Nebula components

[Jonah Graham <jonah@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Nebula devs,

What is the policy for changing (increasing) BREE of components?

Although the first case is trivial*, there are numerous language and
library features in Java 7 and 8 that would be nice to have. The
Visualization / XYGraph plug-in is having a major version bump for the
Nubula 1.3 release due to the significant improvements and API
changes. Increasing the BREE (arguably+) requires a bump to the major
version number, so take aid development over the coming years of
Visualization / XYGraph it would certainly be convenient to do it now
and be able to take advantage of the trivial and significant
improvements in Java 7 and 8.

Thanks,
Jonah

* In https://git.eclipse.org/r/#/c/97615 we just want to use Objects
introduced in 1.7.
+ there has been some debate about this over the years...
