And we have a solution for this too --> LTS. If someone wants support for Eclipse for an older version of Java, then LTS would be the obvious recommendation. :) > I guess we just need to come up with a common definition of what we mean by > "current version". I say: it should be every version receiving security updates public and free accessible for the community (committers, contributors and users). As of May 2015, Java 7 will fall out of that list. But that's just my two cents. -Gunnar _______________________________________________ cross-project-issues-dev mailing list [email protected] To change your delivery options, retrieve your password, or unsubscribe from this list, visit https://dev.eclipse.org/mailman/listinfo/cross-project-issues-dev
