Gorkem,

        It is acceptable if WTP 3.8 projects require Java 8.  As an example,
in WTP 3.8, Dali moved all of its BREE levels to Java 8.  It is up to each
project within WTP to decide when they will move their BREE levels up.
(And any plugin that moves its BREE level up needs to increment its minor
version, as per the Eclipse Plugin versioning guidelines.)  As the Eclipse
Platform requires a minimum of Java 8, any WTP plugin can raise its BREE to
Java 8 (as long as they have a separate branch for WTP 3.7.2, which still
has to allow for Java 7.)

FWIW,

- Carl Anderson
WTP Releng project lead

Hi,
The target for Eclipse project on Neon seems to be Java8 [1].
What is the guidance for WTP projects for Neon? Is it acceptable if WTP
projects require Java 8?
