For at least 6 years, JetBrains has managed to (explicitly) ship support for not yet released Java features (with some disclaimer) and so far so good for them.

Nice, but JetBrains won't help me if I get into trouble with Oracle. And maybe JetBrains even has a special contract with Oracle that allows this? With the above you might, however, be able to get a corresponding statement from Eclipse Foundation legal staff. That's whom I trust.

If someone wants the Eclipse Foundation to make a legal determination on what will and will not work, that someone is going to have to actually write up a clear definition of the request and send that to license@xxxxxxxxxxx for review.

Stated differently: it is not fair to ask us to review a very long and deep thread and attempt to guess at what the request is. We are not going to do that.

HTH. Thanks.
