Betreff: [rap-dev] Base rap runtime on 3.8 or 4.2?

 

Hi,

it seems that we are getting into a version issue in Juno: Our runtime is based 
on 3.8, but Juno contains only 4.2. Since the 4.2 bundles have started to 
diverge from 3.8 [1], we cannot bring the basic target requirements into the 
Juno repository anymore, as this provokes the usual version clashes. Moreover, 
if we continue to base our runtime on 3.8, our runtime may become incompatible 
with the Equinox bundles in Juno.

Since the RAP Workbench and JFace bundles are still based on 3.x, I based the 
runtime on 3.8 as the natural successor of 3.7. So what are our options?

A) Switch to 4.2 as runtime base and ensure that our JFace/Workbench bundles 
remain compatible with 4.2 Equinox (not sure if there will be any incompatible 
changes in Equinox).

B) Continue using 3.8 as runtime base and keep the runtime out of the Juno 
repository entirely.

C) Continue using 3.8 as runtime base and keep only the basic target 
requirements bundle out of the Juno repository. We'd have to ensure that the 
RAP runtime works with Equinox 3.8 and 4.2.

I'd prefer to look forward and go for A). Any thoughts?

Regards, Ralf
