Re: [tycho-dev] Target Platform for Tycho Surefire bundles

Yes, this is correct, org.eclipse.tycho.surefire.osgibooter and one of
o.e.t.surefire.osgibooter.junit will be forced as dependencies of the
test runtime TestMojo.
And a second question: Do we have tests that ensure that we don’t
introduce dependencies in the Surefire bundles which would prevent
running them with earlier Eclipse versions? I should help to change the
target platform of tycho-surefire to an older release train, right?
Ganymede seems to work out of the box, so should we use that version?
I don't think it's worth the hassle. Dependencies of tycho surefire
bundles are very minimal and the code did not change pretty much since
the time it was originally written, so I think the chances we break
compatibility with earlier eclipse versions are very slim, unless we
decide to rework test bootstrap logic. Even then, I think it will be far
more useful to setup integration test(s) that verify compatibility with
versions of eclipse we want to support.
