Thanks Carl, that is very helpful.

Mike,

WTP currently supports Java EE 7, and as of Oxygen.1 has partial support for Java EE 8. The JSRs for Java EE 8 were approved very late in the Oxygen.1 development cycle, and the final schemas were not released until RC3 (which we need in order to properly provide the EMF model). The current plan is to provide support for Java EE 8 in Oxygen.2 - we have several Gerrit changes ready to commit in the next weeks, as we just delivered our Oxygen.1a in support of Java 9 and are just starting to build our Oxygen.2 drivers.
I spoke with Wayne about the move of Java EE to Eclipse- the main benefit that WTP would receive is that we currently have to go through the full CQ process in order to ship the Java EE schemas as part of WTP- if the schemas are already part of another Eclipse project (and using the EPL), it will be easier for WTP to ship them. There is also the opportunity for WTP Server Tools to provide an easy way for (an Eclipse-produced) Glassfish to be installed as a server runtime. Those were just the two opportunities that came to mind when I first heard of this- I would not doubt that others in WTP will provide other opportunities.

FWIW,

All,

As Java EE becomes an Eclipse top-level project, I am curious as to what version of EE WTP is currently supporting? Is WTP completely current with EE 8 support?

If you are interested in following the conversation, you can subscribe to ee4j-community@xxxxxxxxxxx

Does the group here see any opportunities for easier/tighter alignment with the runtime platform now that it is moving to EE4J?

Thanks.
