I assume that is a different problem. JDT supports multiple Java
versions,
e.g., you can start Eclipse with Java 8 and still develop for a Java
1.4
version.
Not for annotation processing AFAIK.
At least I had issues with it since the APT tooling had some different
APIs for
their two bundles - one is loaded when non-Java8 the other for Java8 and
there was problems depending on what jvm I was running eclipse with.
This might have been fixed - but afaik APT handling *is* different from
JDT itself
since it actually must load users classses and they would be dependent
on the JVM
eclipse run with provided libraries.

But I wanted to hear the opinion of this group, as this would have
an
impact on the consumption of the Eclipse SDK, if platform.ui
requires Java
8 the Eclipse SDK requires also Java 8.

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

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
version right now ?
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.

Mars+1?
Sent by: platform-vision-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx
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
