Deprecate Android Development Tools ----------------------------------- Key: JBIDE-27317 URL: https://issues.redhat.com/browse/JBIDE-27317 Project: Tools (JBoss Tools) Issue Type: Bug Components: central Affects Versions: 4.16.0.AM1 Reporter: Josef Kopriva Assignee: Stephane Bouchet Priority: Major Fix For: 4.16.0.Final After discussion on slack, we should deprecate ADT: {code:java} @jmaury @sbouchet @psrna @bodavis Hi, I was looking at Android Develpment tools(we have it in CRS Central), but it seems to be it is not supported by Google for some time: https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2016/11/support-ended-for-eclip... Bob Davis 3:06 PM If it’s not supported/maintained, we should remove it, IMO Stéphane Bouchet 3:16 PM Currently it is listed on central, as tested, not deprecated. as we did for last codeready release, we should first deprecate it before removing it from central. (edited) Bob Davis 3:18 PM Agreed - if that’s the process, we should do that. It’s been deprecated by the upstream, so we should follow suit. Is there a replacement we can direct people to? (should we worry about that? I can try to see if we have any stats on usage) Stéphane Bouchet 3:19 PM Err, yes, the replacement is to use Android Studio, based on IDEA :smile: Bob Davis 3:20 PM Sigh… Stéphane Bouchet 3:22 PM yes, there was an alternative on eclipse, https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/tools.andmore, but no new release since 2017 :disappointed: 3:23 @maxandersen is listed on the contributors. maybe he can add a note ? Bob Davis 3:36 PM Isn’t @maxandersen listed as a contributor on most anything a person would want to use? :joy: 1 Max Rydahl Andersen 5:39 PM I only do useful stuff :) 5:40 Andorid on eclipse is dead. {code}
