status of master branch
by Lars Heinemann
Hey,
just a quick heads up that master branch is now using the JBTIS Mars TP
(4.3.0.Alpha2a). There are currently some build issues which I try to
solve over the next couple of days. Please do changes for the 6.2 in
7.3.x while
master is borked and cherry pick it to master.
Thanks
Lars

Re: [jbosstools-fuse-dev] Dumping java 7 support for *running* Developer studio 8?
by Brian Fitzpatrick
Adding jbosstools-fuse-dev
As this is a tooling requirement and not a runtime requirement, I suspect customers might be ok-ish with it?
If I was a customer I would be asking why. What do I get for the trouble of installing yet another version of Java? And what do I lose?
Java 7 EOL definitely works as a motivator.

So, just to recap the votes for moving to Java 8 as prereq.
--
Max: yes, but must determine how users will run Java 7 annotation
processing with JDK 8 as APIs are (?) incompatible. QE to investigate.
Fred: yes, +100
Denis: yes, but need better user awareness
Alexey: yes, but need to fix JBIDE-19500
Nick: yes, 7 it's one less JVM to QE (assuming concern above resolved).
--
Votes for staying on Java 7: none so far.
