[jdt-dev] Java 11 runtime support in ecj in 4.28
|
Hi PMC,
we have a lovely discussion on https://github.com/eclipse-jdt/eclipse.jdt.core/issues/886 regarding ecj starting to require Java 17 runtime and dropping Java 11 runtime support in 4.28.
Would be nice if we could have PMC resolution/decision on this question soon.
Short summary of the problem:
Eclipse 4.28 is going to support Java 17 runtime only (see https://github.com/eclipse-platform/eclipse.platform.releng/issues/200).
ECJ, as standalone compiler library, could in theory still stay and support execution on Java 11.
The controversial proposal that requires resolution is: ECJ released with 4.28 would also require at least Java 17 for execution.
Note: Compilation *targets* are not affected by that, ecj will still support compilation down to Java 8 JLS.
