[jbosstools-dev] Tycho 0.25.0 will require Java 8

FYI, when we move to Tycho 0.25 some time this year, we will also lose support for building ANY of JBT 4.4/JBDS 10 with Java 7; we will need to use Java 8 only. In related news, Java 9 will be feature complete in May 2016, and released in March 2017. http://openjdk.java.net/projects/jdk9/ ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Sievers, Jan <jan.sievers(a)sap.com&gt; Date: Fri, Jan 8, 2016 at 10:39 AM Subject: [tycho-user] Tycho 0.25.0 will require Java 8 To: Tycho list <tycho-user(a)eclipse.org&gt; just a heads up, while working on upgrading Tycho to a recent Neon milestone [1], I noticed some of the eclipse bundles Tycho uses internally have bumped their BREE to JavaSE-1.8 [2] This means Tycho will effectively require Java 8 with the next release. Note that you will still be able to build against/run tests using older JDKs using maven toolchains [3,4] Regards Jan [1] https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=485427 [2] https://www.eclipse.org/projects/project-plan.php?planurl=http://www.ecli...
