Hi!
The target environment is the oldest Eclipse release the we are supporting.
It's going to become 3.7 soon.
There is a big difference between 3.x and 4.x Eclipse APIs, but 4.x can
still run plugins for 3.x with the help of a compatibility layer. You still
need to have a 3.x Eclipse installation that has to be set as target in
window->preferences->plug-in development->target platform. It is needed so
that the compiler can find the right APIs to link with.
It is possible to use 3.7 or 3.8, possibly even a 4.x, as target, but then
if you happen to use an API that doesn't exist in 3.6 or has changed since,
it won't be possible to run on that platform.
regards,
Vlad
