At platform we have a mixture of 1.4 - 1.6 for stuff which goes into the

requiring Java 8 as this would bump up the requirement for the whole SDK.
Okey, but I thought that was your suggestion here ? To say the minimum is Java 8 for Mars+1 ?
or did I misunderstand something here ?

I'm always torn about the minimal support - what is the minimum java

I know EPP require Java 7. But is all of platform at that level ?
One gotcha I can think of is that if you require Java 8 in eclipse then
you loose
support for running Java 7 annotation processors within JDT since Java 8
changed that API.
That would be quite a big loss of functionality.

This should be left to the projects, which can raise the BREE when needed,
and the EPP providers who best know whether their package really needs
Java 8. See https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=423734 for lots
of pros and cons of using the latest JRE version.
There are other JREs around, not just Oracle. Also, those who move to Java
8 drop support Solaris 32-bit.

Hi,
The Oracle support for Java 7 ends in a few months.
To modernize the Eclipse source basic (which I think would make Eclipse
more attract new contributors) I would like to see Java 8 as minimum
requirement for Eclipse Mars+1.
What do people think about this?
Best regards, Lars
