Re: [mylyn-dev] Are we changing the basic requirements for the "new" mylyn
|
Hello,
"new" Mylyn is aligned with SimRel 2022-12, that means Eclipse
Platform 4.26, Java 11 and many updated dependencies.
Moreover, when Eclipse Platform will jump to Java 17 - "new" Mylyn
will follow it. I think this is what majority of Eclipse SimRel
participants would do.
I can hardly imagine how all the old targets could be supported in
the scope of Mylyn project, because it would require an effort
comparable with implementation of Mylyn functionality from scratch.
For these who needs changes for older Eclipse Platform versions we
have published sources to start from
(
https://github.com/eclipse-mylyn).
If there is a commercial interest regarding reviving Mylyn for
particular Eclipse-based product, one can contact available Eclipse
experts (including me) for commercial support.
Regards,
AF

add some fuel to the fire:
The incoming GitHub Connector used Java 11.
The *.launch files uses Java 1.6 (and JVM options that have been
removed in later JVMs)

There is a fundamental licensing difference
between Java 11 and Java 17. Java 11 is more
restrictive. Java 8 and Java 17 are closer in their
intent. There are limitations on Java 11 that may
not allow mylyn to be used broadly. Please consult
the Oracle Java licensing statements prior to making
a final decision on this.
Randall, the Oracle Java licensing statement are not
relevant to such a decision. The project can also not take
this into account. The decision being made here is about
language compatibility. If 11 is selected it will also run on
17.
Users (customers) of Eclipse are free to select the Java
runtime of their choice.
