Eclipse Community ForumsWhich Platform Version do you use with Xtext
https://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/mv/msg/1091311/1780639/#msg_1780639
Which Eclipse Version do you use (if you use the latest version of Xtext)? We currently support back to Luna and like to know which Versions are still relevant and which are not
Thanks

Besides that the usual target platforms I am facing are Oxygen and Photon.]]>Karsten Thoms2018-01-25T08:40:51-00:00Re: Which Platform Version do you use with Xtext

I try to support as many platforms as possible, but reality gets in the way. Platform migration to Java 8 makes new code on old platforms less viable. JDT 6/7 annotations make source migration hard.
But more relevantly, I think you are mistaken in claiming support for Xtext >=2.8 generation on an Xtext <2.8 run-time since the breaking change that added setFirstSetPredicated in Xtext.ecore made *.xtextbin unloadable forcing me to eliminate use of *.xtextbin for my editors. I now use
GIT\org.eclipse.ocl\examples\org.eclipse.ocl.examples.build\src\org\eclipse\ocl\examples\build\xtend\GenerateGrammarXtend.xtend
to provide (faster) direct Java-loadable replacements for 10 different *.xtextbin files.
