Mike,
WTP currently supports Java EE 7, and as of
Oxygen.1 has partial support for Java EE 8. The JSRs for Java
EE 8 were approved very late in the Oxygen.1 development
cycle, and the final schemas were not released until RC3
(which we need in order to properly provide the EMF model).
The current plan is to provide support for Java EE 8 in
Oxygen.2 - we have several Gerrit changes ready to commit in
the next weeks, as we just delivered our Oxygen.1a in support
of Java 9 and are just starting to build our Oxygen.2 drivers.
I spoke with Wayne about the move of Java EE to
Eclipse- the main benefit that WTP would receive is that we
currently have to go through the full CQ process in order to
ship the Java EE schemas as part of WTP- if the schemas are
already part of another Eclipse project (and using the EPL),
it will be easier for WTP to ship them. There is also the
opportunity for WTP Server Tools to provide an easy way for
(an Eclipse-produced) Glassfish to be installed as a server
runtime. Those were just the two opportunities that came to
mind when I first heard of this- I would not doubt that others
in WTP will provide other opportunities.
FWIW,

All,
As Java EE becomes an Eclipse top-level project, I am curious
as to what version of EE WTP is currently supporting? Is WTP
completely current with EE 8 support?

Does the group here see any opportunities for easier/tighter
alignment with the runtime platform now that it is moving to
EE4J?

Thanks.
