| [cross-project-issues-dev] Tycho target environments |
Hi
While revising pom.xml's for Java 21, I noticed the following possibly stale target-platform-configuration section
<environments>
<!--environment>
<os>win32</os>
<ws>win32</ws>
<arch>x86</arch>
</environment-->
<environment>
<os>win32</os>
<ws>win32</ws>
<arch>x86_64</arch>
</environment>
<!--environment>
<os>linux</os>
<ws>gtk</ws>
<arch>x86</arch>
</environment-->
<environment>
<os>linux</os>
<ws>gtk</ws>
<arch>x86_64</arch>
</environment>
<environment>
<os>macosx</os>
<ws>cocoa</ws>
<arch>x86_64</arch>
</environment>
</environments>
The commenting was necessitated by the removal of 32 bit support.
However IIRC we now have ARM support and https://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops4/R-4.34-202411201800/ identifies macosx.cocoa.aarch64 but no linux equivalent.
The table in
https://eclipse.dev/eclipse/development/plans/eclipse_project_plan_4_34.xml#target_environments
is not clear to me, but seems to suggest aarch64 for Ubuntu Long
Term Support. (It would help if there was a mapping to the Tycho
target-platform-configuration spellings.)
Looking for an exemplary project to copy, I find that EMF has just the same three x86_64 environments.
Are these environment settings irrelevant, or are EMF and my projects and no doubt many others needlessly excluding their usage with some supported Eclipse environments?
If so, perhaps the SimRel aggregator needs to start slapping wrists.
