Hi John,
today I found that another set of bundles that RAP uses from
platform depends now on Java 8:
org.eclipse.core.databinding
org.eclipse.core.databinding.property
org.eclipse.core.databinding.observable
Regards,
Ivan

The fact that the Eclipse SDK as
a whole will require Java 8 doesn't imply that any particular
bundle should require Java 8. Since the change requiring Java
8 was cosmetic and there is a significant impact caused by the
change, I think it is fair to ask the question and to consider
the request. I have entered this bug for further discussion,
so please chime in there if you have an opinion:
One
question for you Ralf, is whether this is the only bundle
RAP requires that is blocking you in this way? I thought
there were a number of other platform bundles already
requiring Java 8 as well.

dependency on Java 8
Hi
Ralf,
Dani announced a while ago that Eclipse Neon will
drop support for
Java 7. See: https://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/cross-project-issues-dev/msg12177.html
Best regards, Lars

Looking at the respective
