Re: [ee4j-community] Eclipse is still behind the current state of Java E

["Alexander Salvanos" <salvanos@xxxxxx>]

Dear Colleagues,

 

the current version of "Java EE for Developers" (with Eclipse Oxygen) is still far behind the current state of Java EE 8.
This not only concerns the GlassFish tools, but also WTP.

Almost all technologies aren't referred updated.

E.g. When using JSF, still the deprecated "managed bean package" way is offered.

When using project facets, alsmost all the technologies are been offered in older versions.

We need to be vigorously and decidedly updating here, because not only does this endanger the Eclipse IDE,

but also the Java EE 8 standard, since Eclipse is the most widely used IDE for Java EE.

 

Best Regards,

Alex
