does that mean that every project that takes part in the Juno release train is required to provide a 4.2-compatible AND a 3.8-compatible version? Or is it possible to run 3.8-compatible plugins on the compatibility layer?
The tooling for RAP is still based on Eclipse 3.x. We may port it to 4.2 as well, but didn't yet start to do so.
Does that means that next Eclipse release will be officially shipped
with e4.2 ?

To echo John's comment; the
Platform
UI Team is completely committed to ensuring that Eclipse 4 is
ready for

behavior will
be treated as 'critical' by us regardless of the apparent
severity. If
the regression is because of the use of internals we'll gladly
work with
you to determine the appropriate fix.
On the plus side it's waaaay
easier
to find / fix defects in 4.x due to its underlying structure.
If you have any questions don't
hesitate
to get in touch with me (emoffatt@xxxxxxxxxx), I'm the
development lead
for 4.x so your 4.x issues are mine...;-).
The reason is that 4.2 is where
all
major new feature development is happening in the Platform. The
3.8 version
is focused primarily on stability and bug fixes. I believe most
projects
contribute their latest release to the release train each year.
Please don't hesitate to enter a bug against Eclipse Platform if
you are
seeing a problem that occurs when running your component on 4.2
that doesn't
happen on 3.8. They should be fully compatible, and unless you
are using
Platform internal code that has changed between those releases,
you should
be able to run on either one.
