The bulk, in terms of bundles, maybe
... but I know the Platform requires 1.6 (for Help to work, because Jetty
requires 1.6) and I believe all the EPP packages specify 1.6 as minimum
runtime (for that "product", not at a bundle level).
So, I may be showing my ignorance, or
missing your point, but if its simply a matter that using 12 would require
users to use 1.6, it does not seem like a killer to me. Of course ... depends
greatly on your adopters and target user.
For interest, the "distribution"
of BREEs are listed in one of our "simrel repo" reports ...
http://build.eclipse.org/simrel/kepler/reporeports/reports/breedata.txt
It shows the bulk still at 1.5 level, on a bundle-by-bundle
basis, but a number at 1.6 and even some at 1.7! (Those requiring 1.7 make
me a little nervous .. but, assume its necessary and satisfactory for adopters,
or they would say if it was causing them problems).

Hi
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=401285
and https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=370651
give details on com.google issues.
My class version error arises because com.google.guava 12 has Java 6 rather
than Java 5 classes. Since the bulk of Eclipse is still Java 5 compliant,
this seems like a killer.

There are versions 10, 11, and 12 available from Orbit ... are you saying
in your individual build you are getting multiple versions? If so, sounds
like you simply need to "constrain" which version you want.
Or ... are you saying multiple projects are using different versions and
that causes a problem? If that's the case, I suggest a "cross-project
bug" and describe what you are seeing, and if possible who is using
which versions and see if you can gain some agreement to use "the
highest version"? (Assuming that's the right one).

Hi
My recollection is that there was a com.google.guava version problem at
M6.
It seems to have got worse for M7.
I find that I have version 10, 11 and 12 and no doubt the bad class
version trouble is a consequence.
How are we going to solve this?
