Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] Eclipse Platform to prefer use of depende

[Michael Keppler <Michael.Keppler@xxxxxx>]

Might this approach be a problem for projects with very low Java target
level? From my understanding, to be able to use that mechanism they
would be required to use a recent version of Tycho, but that might not
support building the old Java EE levels anymore.

Also everyone using the Target Platform Definition language *.tpd might
be out, since that tooling cannot generate the new syntax I believe.
https://github.com/eclipse-cbi/targetplatform-dsl. Of course everyone
using TPD can just maintain .target files instead, but if you have ever
managed targets with 1500 plugins, you really don't want to go back from
such a component based approach, towards a single file, without comments
etc.
