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.

Subject: [tycho-user] Tycho 0.25.0 will require Java 8
To: Tycho list <tycho-user(a)eclipse.org>
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
