For Kepler, WTP created a patch to allow for Java 8 usage. That patch
worked hand-in-hand with the Platform's JDT patch that supported Java
8. Those were announced at the same time. Developers could download
and install those, and then use Java 8 to develop artifacts within WTP
on Eclipse Kepler. I would assume that the same would be true for
Java 9 and Eclipse Mars
By the way, in such case, why not just release a new version of JDT and
WTP with Java X support rather than creating a patch feature?
It seems to me that it would be best for most (committers, releng,
adopter projects, users) to have it as a regular update than a patch
feature.
