Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] Do we need a MAX BREE? max java version?

[Aleksandar Kurtakov <akurtako@xxxxxxxxxx>]

BREE is deprecated by OSGi although Eclipse doesn't show warnings about this deprecation. If you use osgi.ee [1] capability one can easily define min and max versions. Equinox/p2/tycho should work fine without BREE and with osgi.ee capability used. Not sure whether all PDE features will grok it though.

Java was planed to be backward compatible.
But with removed APIs in newer JDKs it is not anymore.

treat it as that.
API removals will go on.

What do you think?
