Hi,
With https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=509234
<https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=509234>,
org.eclipse.core.runtime.ListenerList now overrides the default method
Iterable.spliterator() and provides stream() and parallelStream() methods. Thus
it exposes Java 8 types.
If you use the ListenerList class and compile against
org.eclipse.equinox.common within the [3.9,4.0) range, this change may force
you to update your BREE to Java 8 as well (like we had to do for bundles
org.eclipse.equinox.preferences, org.eclipse.core.jobs and org.eclipse.core
runtime).
Changing BREE is not required if you use ListenerList and still build against
older compatible version of org.eclipse.equinox.common (i.e. within [3.0, 3.9)
range). As many of us are compiling against latest versions of bundles, think
of it if you see compile errors like the following "The type
java.util.stream.Stream cannot be resolved. It is indirectly referenced from
required .class files".
Note that any previously compiled bundle depending on
org.eclipse.equinox.common within the [3.0,4.0) range will continue to work as
before.
Cheers,
Mikael
