I announced it on the cross-platform list.

I agree in general but would like to validate "we're not aware of any such
consumers still existing in 3.7 stream)" a bit more widely. I suggest we
announce this on the cross-platform list and if there is no veto raised in
a week we go ahead.

+1 from me. Although there is no single killer reason for this, every year
there are one or two smaller issues that crop up that require us to roll
our own implementation of something that would be available in Java 5 if we
could use it. I think we're at the point where this accumulation of issues
outweighs the risk that there may still exist someone wanting to use the
resource model in more constrianted environments (and we're not aware of
any such consumers still existing in 3.7 stream).

[eclipse-pmc] Approval needed for
11/08/2010 12:38 PM moving org.eclipse.core.resources
plug-in to Java 1.5
Please respond to
eclipse-pmc@xxxxxxxxxxx
This is a request to approve moving core.resources to Java 1.5. The
benefits are:
- making use of i18n libraries that aren't available elsewhere (e.g., high
surrogate support) to fix bugs like
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=310623
- modernizing our API and using generics, varargs, enums, etc, where
appropriate
- moving to Java 5 data structures that we previous had to maintain copies
of: Queue, CopyOnWriteList, etc.
Corresponding bug:
