Hi Ed
We always publish our plan and all updates to the 'eclipse-dev' list. The
next plan update will be for M6. You can also follow the plan update
discussions in the corresponding plan update bugzillas in the Platform PMC
component. The one for M6 is https://bugs.eclipse.org/458730. As Alex
mentioned, that will also update the appendix with the BREEs.
Note that besides the supported target environments of the Platform, there
is usually also a discussion what the lowest JRE is for the packages
(EPPs). This is decided by the package maintainers. For Luna most were
already requiring JRE 7.
As for why we didn't send a note, simply because we changed bundle BREEs
many times in the past years without ever announcing it.
Sorry if this caused any troubles for you!

Subject: Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] jdt.core move to Java 7
BREE
Sent by: cross-project-issues-dev-boun...@eclipse.org
Hi
I think that this thread is about both.
Nobody has advanced a strong argument for retaining Java 6 support, so we
can move on without upsetting anybody.
Doug: if you examine the tabulated per-plugin BREEs in the platform
project plan you will see a clear indication that jdt.core is 1.6. (The
only 1.7 is the filesystem.java7 bundle.)
Therefore IMHO this change should have been announced:
a) because it was a change to the platform project plan
b) because it clearly has an impact on many other projects
Regards
Ed Willink

Is this thread about what minimum BREE to use, or is it about announcing
changes to this? I agree with most people here that Java 7 is a sensible
minimum BREE for Mars, but I get the sense that this thread was more about
how / where these changes are announced.
Cheers,
Ian

And we have a solution for this too --> LTS. If someone wants support for
Eclipse for an older version of Java, then LTS would be the obvious
recommendation. :)

I say: it should be every version receiving security updates public and
free accessible for the community (committers, contributors and users). As
of May 2015, Java 7 will fall out of that list. But that's just my two
cents.
