Hi Doug
Indeed, But "As stated above, /we expect that Eclipse works fine on
other current Java VM and OS versions but we cannot flag these as
reference platforms without significant community support for testing
them."/
This is a statement of tested support. The change to jdt.core breaks
Java 6 support. i.e. it guarantees non-functionality on Java 6.

And for that, I go by their project plan which has no mention of JRE 6
for Mars.

Subject: Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] jdt.core move to Java 7 BREE
Hi
(I would love it if Mars required Java 8, since I like @NonNull
annotations and the Java 7 compatibility is really troublesome.)
However I am keen that my project follows the Eclipse consensus,
which does not seem to exist. My Hudson builds now fail so I need
to know where the new consensus is.

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users out there who _/cannot/_ run a newer version of the JRE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.

BREE
Hi
But this is important.
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.

Hi Ed
Yes, this was intended. We never announce BREE changes.

Hi
Is the recent change in BREE for org.eclipse.jdt.core from
Java 6 to
Java 7 intended?
Was it announced?
