  • Thread-topic: [eclipse-dev] eclipse sdk v5 ❤️

i want to resume this discussion , but i lost the old mail thread (more than an year old), hope the title will help sync with the thread in the email discussion archive.

what do people think about moving to v5?

i strongly support this.

if backward incompatibility and ecosystem breakage is a concern, the one time manual efforts for migration is now drastically reduced with several AI tools available.

on the other hand, if we don't move, breaking changes accumulate over time, making it exponentially harder for future migrations, while code gets filled with awkward workarounds, old APIs still linger while better designs are possible....

Thanks,

Gireesh Punathil
