Right. At the very least we should establish a consistency setup where the
team members have J2SE 1.4 installed (I did not). Having 1.4 first on the BREE
is more community/developer friendly because it will “work” without having to
install another JRE and get an XML parser/API from somewhere (e.g., eRCP).
However, as we saw recently, it is easy for other references to creep in
(including refs to XML stuff without a corresponding import and refs to
classes/methods not in 1.4 or Foundation 1.1)
We should also be consistent about it. Some bundles in p2 have Foundation 1.1
first. Others have J2SE1.4 first.
In any event, this discussion is why I posted here. We should come to an
agreement on the approach and move forward based on that.

The org.eclipse.equinox.registry also has J2SE 1.4 listed before Foundation
1.1. If I remember correctly, this is because we do not have a bundle at
pde-build time that provides the XML api to bundles with BREE J2SE 1.4. I
think if you simply reorder the BREEs we will get a build failure for bundles
needing XML stuff to compile. We would need an XML bundle to be available at
build time also.

[equinox-dev] [prov] use of Foundation 1.1

There are several projects in p2 currently that list J2SE 1.4 and Foundation
1.1 in the BREE for the bundle. This is good but they list them in that order.
The net result is that J2SE 1.4 is used to compile the code. What happens in
some cases people don’t have 1.4 so PDE uses the next best thing which ends up
being 1.5 or 1.6. In the end we get references to things we ought not. In
particular, I just had a setup in which there were no XML api in my workspace
or target yet everything was compiling ok. Took quite some time to figure out
how this could be so.
If everyone agrees, I will go through the projects and update them accordingly.
