    Affects Versions: 4.3.0.Alpha2
            Reporter: Nick Boldt


To support new target platform (JBIDE-19776) which includes new Sapphire, here's a new proposal to update JBDS 9 / JBT 4.3 to require JDK 8 runtime.

    Proposal support matrix:
*    IDE installer will run wtih Java 6+ (but then user needs 8 to run it) [NO CHANGE]
*    IDE will ONLY run on Java 8+ [NEW for JBDS 9]
*    Server runtimes will run on existing JREs (from 4 - 9) [NO CHANGE]
*    QE actually does not test on 4 or 5, only 6+
*    Java 9 is "preview / smoketest" only, not supported yet
