| Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] Should SimRel include updated JustJ |
Jeff,
Given the regular release schedule of Adoptium/Temurin versions,
often fixing security-related issues, baking a particular version
into each release train repository, fixed to the particular
version available at that time, doesn't seem like the best
solution to this problem. Note too that it's highly unlikely the
user was just updating 2022-06 but rather from something much
older that was previously updated to 2022-06 because 2022-06
shipped with JustJ 17.0.x.
Having an update site that is automatically added by EPP to each package and points to the desired current version would seem like a better solution. I vaguely recall having such discussions but obviously we didn't conclude that...
There is also a question of which version should a JustJ update
site specify? We could use this one:
https://download.eclipse.org/justj/jres/
But that includes the 18.x release and soon the 19.x release.
We probably don't want people updating to those.
We could also compose this one:
https://download.eclipse.org/justj/jres/17/updates/release/latest
and update to some future LTS version eventually.
Or maybe we should just compose the above into this site which I
believe is already automatically added to all EPP packages:
https://download.eclipse.org/releases/latest
That would seem the simplest approach and would address the issue for existing installations already...
Regards,
Ed
A user recently opened an issue against JDT UI because they were trying to update their 2022-06 Eclipse IDE for Java Developers and it fails because the current JustJ they had: 15.0.1 is not sufficient to update components which now require Java 17.
While they can manually add the needed JustJ updates site would it not make sense to make a JustJ update available automatically for such end-users at least in the case where Eclipse increases minimum JVM requirements?
