Hi Grégoire, The editor validated, so I hope the build will pass too. ATL and Acceleo have now been reenabled for Luna, though that will only be useful for M2 now. Laurent Goubet Obeo On 02/09/2013 16:34, Laurent Goubet wrote: Disabling all projects every year will always cause such issues

I probably should have mentioned, there are several bugs we are still trying to work through, where the Tycho/Maven build picks a different compiler level than the way PDE used to it ... and not always in the way we intend, for example, https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=415116

Sorry for not communicating this aspect of the Equinox Framework changes in Luna. Obviously we need to spell out the VM requirements clearly for the Equinox framework being included in Luna. the NLS class is part of the Equinox framework which has moved up to requiring Java 6. Sorry for the

I agree. Let's figure out how to publicly and formally drop support for Java 5. Sun/Oracle discontinued public support in 2009! From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_version_history#J2SE_5.0_.28September_30.2 C_2004.29 J2SE 5.0 entered its end-of-public-updates period on April 8, 2008

Hi I'm sorry John but you are dodging the issue. There is far too much this is what we do, and very little of this is what we require. Most of the Eclipse SDK is "pure" Java code and has no direct dependence on the underlying operating system. The chief

I think you dodged the answer :). If you use Java 5, you're have no guarantees. We could change org.eclipse.* to 1.6, but that would be a huge effort for little gain. From: Ed Willink e...@willink.me.ukmailto:e...@willink.me.uk Reply-To: Cross project issues

And this is exactly why a granular approach to supported targets is a bad idea. While it does offer some more flexibility in certain situations, it causes massive confusion as to what's supported overall. The decisions on what targets to support are rarely made on bundle-by-bundle basis

He didn't. He said that the platform doesn't support java5: Since Platform 3.8 it has certainly been impossible to run the complete platform using Java 5 due to Jetty dependency on Java 6 (and possibly other bundles). On 03/09/2013 12:34 PM, Ed Willink wrote: Hi I must be very dense. Where
