[xtext-dev] Xtext 2.29.0.M3 is out

["Dietrich, Christian" <christian.dietrich@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Xtexters

Xtext 2.29.0.M3 is out

You can find it at
https://download.eclipse.org/modeling/tmf/xtext/downloads/drops/2.29.0/S202211141328/tmf-xtext-Update-2.29.0.M3.zip
https://download.eclipse.org/modeling/tmf/xtext/updates/milestones/S202211141328/
and on maven central soon.

Xtext/Xtend now support Java 17 as source and target too. This requires newer Eclipse platform and JDT jars that no longer run on Java 8. Thus Xtext/Xtend 2.29 requires Java 11 as minimal Java version. While we were at we also bumped the minimal tested Eclipse version to 2022-03 (coming from Oxygen). Please Note: We did no special treatment for newer Java constructs in Xtend, so what works, works, what does not, does not. Please feel free to file bugs (and PRs) https://github.com/eclipse/xtext/issues/1982

Matching MWE(2) version can be found at
