Betreff: [rap-dev] Base rap runtime on 3.8 or 4.2?
Hi,
it seems that we are getting into a version issue in Juno: Our runtime
is based on 3.8, but Juno contains only 4.2. Since the 4.2 bundles have
started to diverge from 3.8 [1], we cannot bring the basic target
requirements into the Juno repository anymore, as this provokes the
usual version clashes. Moreover, if we continue to base our runtime on
3.8, our runtime may become incompatible with the Equinox bundles in
Juno.
Since the RAP Workbench and JFace bundles are still based on 3.x, I
based the runtime on 3.8 as the natural successor of 3.7. So what are
our options?
A) Switch to 4.2 as runtime base and ensure that our JFace/Workbench
bundles remain compatible with 4.2 Equinox (not sure if there will be
any incompatible changes in Equinox).
B) Continue using 3.8 as runtime base and keep the runtime out of the
Juno repository entirely.
C) Continue using 3.8 as runtime base and keep only the basic target
requirements bundle out of the Juno repository. We'd have to ensure
that the RAP runtime works with Equinox 3.8 and 4.2.
I'd prefer to look forward and go for A). Any thoughts?
Regards, Ralf
