[tracecompass-dev] Trace Compass Release 8.2.0 and Java 17

Hi,

Trace Compass release 8.2.0 for Eclipse simultaneous release 2022-12 (platform e4.26) is coming up mid-December.

Some dependencies of Trace Compass will require Java 17 at runtime for 2022-12 release. Hence Trace Compass RCP will also require Java 17 to run starting from this release.

The Trace Compass incubator will follow to Java 17 timely to the release.

The _javascript_ engine Nashorn that used to be part of OpenJDK was removed for Java 15 and is not available for the Trace Compass XML analysis and EASE scripting using OpenJDK. XML analysis will now use Mozilla's Rhino JS engine instead. EASE scripting already provides this Rhino engine for the JS support in Trace Compass scripting and in general.

The code base will for stay on Java 11 API's for now so that users can build recent Trace Compass code using older target definitions.

If you have any questions, please let me know.

Best Regards
Bernd
