Hi all,
In case you're considering upgrading to Eclipse 4.4 for Brooklyn
development - not currently recommended based on my experience.
If anyone else has had, or does have, additional info or more success
then please let me know!
The problem is with our use of Groovy for some tests (for historic
reasons!).
Greclipse is still at 2.8 for latest GA release. [1] describes some
compatibility issues between the JDT version and the Groovy plugin.
Also, from [2], "the Groovy-Eclipse version that ships with GGTS 3.4.0
is still built on top of the JDT core implementation of Eclipse Kepler
and isn't updated to Eclipse Kepler SR1 yet." i.e. I don't think you can
use the lastest JDT version.
Installing greclipse is supposed to downgrade and patch your JDT version
(?!).
However, when I upgraded to 4.4, no project with a groovy nature would
compile.
I haven't tried getting an Eclipse with an older version of JDT, nor
have I tried against a snapshot greclipse 2.9. I suspect the snapshot
build is the way to go.
Aled
p.s. I'm using Eclipse 4.3.2 without problems, so not sure why Kepler
SR1 is an issue!
p.p.s. it will be great when all our old groovy code is converted to
Java (except perhaps for one examples project that is just there to show
how to write blueprints in groovy).
