Re: [eclipse-pmc] MacOS 11 + Apple Silicon Enablement
Excellent! Thanks, Lakshmi.
 
I do think building universal binaries is the way to go. Regardless of how good Rosetta 2 is, it's still not as fast as native.

Hi McQ,
 
I sanity tested Eclipse with macOS 11 developer beta a couple of weeks ago and it worked fine. https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=565691 - will track the macOS 11 related issues.
 
I opened https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=565690  to track support for Apple silicon and captured the details in the bug. Going by the Apple docs, the x86_64 app can run on the new hardware in a translated (emulated) mode. Eclipse should to be tested on the new hardware to verify this. For Eclipse to work natively on both x86_64 and arm64 architectures, we need to build universal libraries.
 
Thanks & Regards,
Lakshmi P Shanmugam,

I don't have any pointers to Java SE plans, and obviously, that would be a requirement. Given a working Java, based on what Apple is saying publicly, it should be reasonable to do the port. Having hardware to work with would definitely be important.
 
I don't believe there's a plan item yet, but Dani or the SWT component leads should just create one. Really, it's a no brainer: If we don't support MacOS 11 on Apple Silicon, we'd effectively be saying "Eclipse on Mac is over", and given the number of developers who use Macs (including me ;-) ) that would be bad.
 
Eclipse PMC members, let's discuss in our next call.

All,

Paul and I just got off a call with someone from Apple partner enablement who is wondering what the Eclipse IDE's plans are for support MacOS 11 and Apple Silicon. As I am sure you are aware, Apple announced back in June that they were switching off of Intel.

They are willing to make some machine resources available to us. But we were wondering if there is already a plan to support MacOS 11 in place that we can refer to? Does anyone know what the Java SE release plans are?

Thanks.
