Re: [mylyn-dev] Are we changing the basic requirements for the "new" mylyn
|
To add some fuel to the fire:
The incoming GitHub Connector used Java 11.
The *.launch files uses Java 1.6 (and JVM options that have been
removed in later JVMs)

There is a fundamental licensing difference
between Java 11 and Java 17. Java 11 is more
restrictive. Java 8 and Java 17 are closer in their
intent. There are limitations on Java 11 that may not
allow mylyn to be used broadly. Please consult the
Oracle Java licensing statements prior to making a
final decision on this.
Randall, the Oracle Java licensing statement are not relevant
to such a decision. The project can also not take this into
account. The decision being made here is about language
compatibility. If 11 is selected it will also run on 17.
Users (customers) of Eclipse are free to select the Java
runtime of their choice.
