[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBIDE-19834) Change Base's Bundle-RequireExecutionEnvironment to require Java8 (not 7)

[Nick Boldt (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-19834?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13070578#comment-13070578 ] 

Nick Boldt commented on JBIDE-19834:
------------------------------------

If BREE = JavaeSE-1.8, then you can't compile it with JDK 7. 

Worthy of note, since Arquillian depends on Sapphire 9, which requires JDK 8, now too Arquillian requires JDK 8 to build.

Note too that anything that needs to INCLUDE these BREE=JavaSE-1.8 bundles must ALSO be built with JDK 8 or Tycho can't resolve the bundles at build time.

> 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
> {quote}
> To force users to use a JDK 8 runtime to run Eclipse Mars / JBDS 9, we need to change the Base component's Bundle-RequireExecutionEnvironment to require Java8 (not 7). 
> Not sure how many plugins should be updated this way.
