What is the rationale for wanting to keep BREE levels as low as possible? Even Java 7 enters the "no further public updates" phase in April of this year. JRE 7 users in the normal update pipeline were upgraded to Java 8 in January. Are there really users out there who _cannot_ run a newer version of the JRE despite security and performance implications of running an old version? I am guessing that if Mars were to require Java 8, there would be some initial grumbling over having to upgrade, then everyone moves on in a better and more secure configuration.

When osgi.utils moved from Java 5 to Java 6 that made Eclipse almost unuseable as a Java 5 platform; not really a problem. Now jdt.core does nearly the same thing for Eclipse as a Java 6 platform. Are we ready to go that far? IMHO it certainly should be discussed and announced. Regards Ed Willink On 04/03/2015 14:42, Daniel Megert wrote: Hi Ed Yes, this was intended.
