Just for your information, in today's RAP meeting we agreed to - keep RAP 3.1 in the Neon simultaneous release despite the core.databinding dependencies on Java 8 - keep the RAP 3.1 bundles Java 7 compatible - provide an alternative target platform based on Eclipse Mars for Java 7 users.
With this policy, the core.jobs BREE would not be an issue for RAP anymore. Thanks to all for your feedback and cooperation.
