[platform-releng-dev] Java 18 support for Eclipse 2022-03 (4.23).

[Manoj Palat <manoj.palat@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear All,

  

We are pleased to announce the Java 18 support for Eclipse 2022-03 (4.23).

 

The release notably includes the support of the following Java 18 features:

 

JEP 413: Code Snippets in Java API Documentation

JEP 420: Pattern Matching for Switch (Second Preview)

 

The release can be obtained through one of the following ways:

 

1. Java 18 Marketplace entry : https://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/java-18-support-eclipse-2022-03-423
2. P2 update site : https://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/4.23-P-builds/
3. Additionally, the Java 18 support will be available on 4.24 from the next integration build onwards - download from https://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/.

 

I would also like to take this opportunity to thank everyone – the team, contributors, bug reporters, early adopters, and one and all - involved in Java 18 support. And more so for keeping up the dedication and focus  in these pandemic times. Special mention to all who took care of non-Java 18 support related activities to keep the master going forward,  which helped a section of team focus and prioritize the Java 18 support work.

 

Thanks and Regards,

Manoj N Palat
