Hi
This has now happened and it causes a problem. See [1]
Boring Java 8 builds now fail in non-UI contexts.
My understanding of the original report was that I would have difficulty
starting the Eclipse UI without Java 11 and I commented that better user
help was desirable.
I am therefore disappointed to discover that applications using the
non-UI org.eclipse.search fail since the UI is not separated into a
separate bundle.
As I commented on [2]
/Seems like moving the whole platform to Java 11 just for Jetty is like
amputating a whole leg just because a toe is gangrenous./
Since Java 8 is significantly faster [3], the platform needs to ensure
that its beyond Java 8 issues are isolated, e.g an old Jetty if Java 8,
a new Jetty if Java 11.

Hello cross project people,
The Eclipse Project PMC has approved a change to the target
environments for the 2020-09 Eclipse release of the Eclipse Project
(that is, our 4.17 release) to be based on Java 11. This will allow us
to include Jetty 10, when it is available as indicated here:
https://www.eclipse.org/lists/jetty-dev/msg03214.html
Given that this change has the potential to impact downstream
projects, we are asking for feedback now: please let us know if you
believe this will cause problems for your project.
Note that we are not asking teams to update the BREE for their
components, and it is fine for components to support earlier versions
of Java. This note is just identifying the version of Java that we
will use to validate the September release, and thus will be the
supported version for the Eclipse SDK.
thanks,
the Eclipse Project PMC
