Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] Kepler SR3 for Java 8?
|
I don't think the Kepler repository should
get the JDT Java 8 patches.
The Java 8 work was a huge effort, and
this code has not yet received the in-depth testing that people expect
from an official service release. While it adds an eagerly-awaited feature
for some users, it also bears quite some risk for all the others that don't
need Java 8 support at this time.
Luna is coming soon, so the waiting
time is not that long. Until then, Java 8 support should not be actively
pushed into existing installs. But a common patch for all affected Kepler
projects would of course be nice.

From the perspective of best
user experience, we should update the Kepler repository and all the packages.
If we limit the changes to just Java 8 support, the test load would not
be great.

I had this thought, too, and it
has been brought up in some discussions at EclipseCon. It should be in
our interest to make it as easy as possible for our users to get the integration
with Java 8.
*If* we decide for a SR3, what would
be the deliverables? An update of the packages only? Or only some packages?
An update of the common Simultaneous Release repository? Or something else?
Thanks, Markus

It tend to agree with it. Java
8 is something big that we (as tool developers in general) should encourage
people to adopt. So it's IMO worth making an exception to the release train
and try to get a SR3 that supports it Java 8 out-of-the-box.
