Hi everybody,
do I understand this correctly that the 2020-09 release needs at least a Java
11 VM to run? Will it no longer run on a Java 8 VM?
Will platform raise the Bundle-Execution Environment?
If release 2020-09 will only run on Java11 and newer: How does platform's
"Check for Updates" handle this? What happens if a user has an existing
installation running on Java 8 (and this is the user's one and only Java VM)?
Does P2 tell the user that the new bundles to be installed require Java 11 but
that the current installation does not supply this?
Regards,
Matthias

Subject: [eclipse-pmc] Upgrading the Eclipse SDK target environment for the
*September* Eclipse release...
Hello cross project people,
The Eclipse Project PMC has approved a change to the target environments for
the 2020-09 Eclipse release of the Eclipse Project (that is, our 4.17 release)
to be based on Java 11. This will allow us to include Jetty 10, when it is
available as indicated here:
https://www.eclipse.org/lists/jetty-dev/msg03214.html
Given that this change has the potential to impact downstream projects, we are
asking for feedback now: please let us know if you believe this will cause
problems for your project.
Note that we are not asking teams to update the BREE for their components, and
it is fine for components to support earlier versions of Java. This note is
just identifying the version of Java that we will use to validate the September
release, and thus will be the supported version for the Eclipse SDK.
thanks,
the Eclipse Project PMC
