Xtext 2.26.0.M2 is available [message #1844965]

Hi all,

I am pleased to announce the availability of Xtext 2.26.0.M2.
This is the first version that won't explode with Java 17 thanks to an update to Google Guice 5.0
(run with Java 17 against 8/11 target, running against 17 will follow next year when platform/jdt and other upstream dependencies also support it)
We also did some changes to how recovery builds are scheduled https://github.com/eclipse/xtext-eclipse/issues/1710

Release Notes (WIP) are at https://github.com/eclipse/xtext/blob/website-master/xtext-website/_posts/releasenotes/2022-01-31-version-2-26-0.md

For both we strongly encourage you to test and give feedback.

You can find the milestone at https://download.eclipse.org/modeling/tmf/xtext/updates/milestones/S202110010541/
and http://www.eclipse.org/modeling/download.php?file=/modeling/tmf/xtext/downloads/drops/2.26.0/S202110010541/tmf-xtext-Update-2.26.0.M2.zip
and soon on Maven Central

(suitable mwe verison is 2.12.2.M1 / https://download.eclipse.org/modeling/emft/mwe/updates/milestones/S202108160852/)

Happy Xtexting

Thanks and Regards
Christian

That is great news, Christian.
Thanks for all the work that you put into this!
I'll report back if I find anything unexpected after the upgrade.

I just upgraded my project to Xtext 2.26.0.M2 (previously on 2.22.0) and did not run into any issues. In addition to upgrading MWE, moving to Guice 5.0.1 (and removing the no_aop classifier), I also had to fully move to Java 11 (previously Java 9) and update Tycho from 1.7.0 to 2.1.0 (version 2.2.0 and higher turned out to be incompatible with the org.reficio:p2-maven-plugin that I use).
Great job putting this together, Christian. Especially the move to Guice 5 removes a number of persistent headaches for me.
Is there a timeline for the final 2.26.0 release yet?
