| I’d very much prefer to see questions on https://github.com/eclipse-equinox/p2/discussions
Do you control the product involved or does this install into any product? Please follow up on a discussion. It’s much easier to attach pictures and in the future other people are more likely to find the information.

Hi P2 Developers,I have a plug-in (build using Tycho) whose Bundle-RequiredExecutionEnvironment needs to be bumped from JavaSE-11 to (finally!) JavaSE-17. Alas, I am struggling a bit with the update's UX:Someone still running the Eclipse platform on Java 11, can happily performs an (auto)-update of the feature, only to see the feature's bundles failing to resolve. And this just means that all UI contributions are missing, with no indication why.How can I get p2 to provide a reasonable error message already during *installation*, along the lines of "Missing requirement to execution environmnt: JavaSE-17" or so.So far, I've tried the following in my feature.xml, using the magic "a.jre.javase" IU (not sure whether this is a p2 or Tycho concept, BTW):<requires>
<import plugin="a.jre.javase" version="17" match="greaterOrEqual"/>
</requires>
But that doesn't help, alas, as my Tycho-generated update site offers, among other things, also a.jre.javase IUs. Hence, I assume these IUs are really not meant to represent an actual installed execution environment -- which you certainly cannot get from my update site -- but something subtly different.Is what I am after possible at all (similar to limiting a feature's supported operating systems or architectures)? Perhaps with a magic p2.inf incantation?Any help would be greatly appreciated.Best wishes,Andreas--Dr. Andreas Sewe (he/him) | sewe@xxxxxxx | +49 152 56342856CQSE GmbH | Centa-Hafenbraedl-Strasse 59 | 81249 Muenchen | www.cqse.euAmtsgericht Muenchen | HRB 177678 | GF: F.
