Hello guys, For the user community these two issues are important: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-6169 https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-6548 The Tycho project is the user as well. The J8 is internal code improvement/change => lower priority than the user's priority => release order/priorities/dedicated time spent in development.
