One avenue to consider is that if users/adopters need Java 7, they need to stay

Hi,
while we all want to use the new features in Java 8, some users of the
RAP project still can't switch to Java 8 because they have to deploy
on application servers that run on a (bundled) non-Java-8 VM. For
example, looking at the IBM WebSphere JDK support list [1], it seems

Hi Mikael,
I am very excited about the digestAlgorithm option because I hope it can be

which are signed with the eclipse-jarsigner-plugin cannot be installed on
Eclipse Indigo and earlier. I tried to use the TestServer to see i
