Minor or patch? i.e 3.3.9 is current, would this be say 3.3.10, or 3.4.1? Just RUNNING under JDK8 explodes horribly for us on some of our modules ( still requiring antlr 3 - which is known to just not run under JDK8 ). So if a release required changing JDKs and then broke builds - that's definitely not a patch release, but I'd also be hesitant over a minor release. Toolchains are great - IF plugins actually support them, which is what - 4 maybe 5 plugins in total? Sadly not many plugins fork a separate process to run let alone support tool chains. -- Mark Derricutt http://www.theoryinpractice.net http://www.chaliceofblood.net http://plus.google.com/+MarkDerricutt http://twitter.com/talios http://facebook.com/mderricutt
