Hi all,
Is there any reason that the IntelliJ plugin should not target Java 7+ as
the runtime environment?
The specific motivation for me is to be able to use Java NIO's glob
matching, in order to evaluate the rules specified in a .gitignore file.
This was previously fulfilled by JGit, but having that dependency was seen
as undesirable, I think due to file size concerns. Not having to
reimplement glob matching (the equivalent of the POSIX fnmatch function)
would save a lot of effort and maintenance.
Another approach would be to pull out the part of JGit which did this,
which targeted Java 5 I believe, and include this source code in Saros.
That code is under the Eclipse Public License, I'm not 100% sure on the
legality of that, or the impact of including something non-GPL in the Saros
distributable, but I think that's valid.
Cheers,
Graham
