[wtp-dev] JDK 10 support in WTP 3.9.4 (Oxygen.3a) and 3.10.0.M7 (was: De

[Nick Boldt <nboldt@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I've opened https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=532353 to track adding the Java 10 facet in R3_9 and master branches.

Do we need to get JDK 10 installed on the JIPP and added to the toolchains.xml file? Does this change require bumping a BREE up to minimum version = JDK 10?

Forgive the dumb questions, but this stuff's outside my sphere of expertise. 

Cheers,

Nick

What I should have written is that there's only a smaller AST change, addition of a (read-only) property: org.eclipse.jdt.core.dom.SimpleType.isVar()
