Re: [jdt-dev] RFC - Withdrawing compiler support for older versions of Java levels
|
I do not follow. Compiling to target 8 or 1.5 does not mean to actually
run the code on JDK 5 or 8. I know dozens of legacy applications in bank
IT running on JDK 17 or 21, but e.g. maintained as source/target 8. I
understand that you are encouraging the JDT Core team to drop older
compile targets, and I acknowledge that there are good reasons to do so,
but security is none of them in this context.
