I'm not sure the Java-centric packages are a great target. For
real Java development most people will want an SDK I imagine.
E.g., a src.zip seems important and not present in a JRE, at least
as generated by default by jlink...
That's right.
We'll see when we start adopting it in EPP. Maybe we could try to have JustJ shipping a whole JDK for the case of Java-centric packages. Anyway, I wouldn't brainstorm too much about it right now as there are still important and enlightening intermediary steps to perform first.
Yes we can communicate more broadly. An article in the
newsletter is forthcoming too.
OK, I think it's better to wait for the newsletter article and then we'll link to it via the @EclipseJavaIDE account. If you think it's better to tweet now, we can also do it, just ask ;)
One of my most significant remaining concerns is the update
channel for new versions of the JRE. I'm not sure we should be
putting the JREs in the release train repository, for example..
I imagine EPP could take care of it -at least partly- as it defined the available update sites. We'll discuss that a bit later after 2020-06 is done, when we start playing with JustJ in EPP.
