Ed,

This just seems downright rude to me. There's simply no need to be snarky. I suspect you're not actually confused, you're just being deliberately obtuse to make a point.

Dani's team is providing the excellent environment that all the Eclipse project developers use. I'm absolutely certain that Dani is not only very familiar with Eclipse's development environment, he is in fact using it for JDT development and moreover is providing it for all of us to use. He has been involved in that effort since day one. His team's latest effort is to provide world-class support for the latest features of Java 9 and he's been kind enough to provide guidance in the wiki. It's a wiki. If you see room for improvement, do so. That's what I just did (though the wiki just went down, along with Bugzilla).

In any case, please don't insult Dani (or platform developers) with obtuse suspicions.

Regards,
Ed

Hi Dani

I suspect that as a platform developer, you are not familiar with the nice environment that Eclipse provides for project developers.

I recognize two ways of running my tests.

a) as standalone JUnit tests

b) as Plugin JUnit tests

Both require the launch config to specify/re-use the invoking Eclipse JVM. So no Java 9 in Eclipse => no testing.

    Regards

Hi Ed

It depends whether you want to run the tests from the command line or out of the IDE. From the command line you only need a Java 9 VM (e.g. the one installed on Hudson). From the IDE you need to install the Java 9 support as indicated in 'Running Eclipse with Java 9 Support (BETA)'.

Hi

I'm confused again.

You previously replied that it was necessary to install a special JDT so that a Java 9 JDK was available within Eclipse. I see no mention of this in the wiki. Without doing this how can tests be run using Java 9?

    Regards

I assume many of you already heard that Java 9 is _scheduled for GA on July 27, 2017_ <http://openjdk.java.net/projects/jdk9/>. The Planning Council did not yet decided how we will ship the Java 9 support for Eclipse but requires all release train projects to assess their readiness regarding Java 9. We have created the following wiki page to capture this: _https://wiki.eclipse.org/Java_9_Readiness_. That wiki page also explains how you can check your project and how you can launch Eclipse with a Java 9 VM.
