Right. At the very least we should establish a consistency setup where the team members have J2SE 1.4 installed (I did not). Having 1.4 first on the BREE is more community/developer friendly because it will “work” without having to install another JRE and get an XML parser/API from somewhere (e.g., eRCP). However, as we saw recently, it is easy for other references to creep in (including refs to XML stuff without a corresponding import and refs to classes/methods not in 1.4 or Foundation 1.1)
We should also be consistent about it. Some bundles in p2 have Foundation 1.1 first. Others have J2SE1.4 first. In any event, this discussion is why I posted here. We should come to an agreement on the approach and move forward based on that.

If I remember correctly, this is because we do not have a bundle at pde-build time that provides the XML api to bundles with BREE < J2SE 1.4. I think if you simply reorder the BREEs we will get a build failure for bundles needing XML stuff to compile. We would need an XML bundle to be available at build time also.

This is good but they list them in that order. The net result is that J2SE 1.4 is used to compile the code. What happens in some cases people don’t have 1.4 so PDE uses the next best thing which ends up being 1.5 or 1.6. In the end we get references to things we ought not. In particular, I just had a setup in which there were no XML api in my workspace or target yet everything was compiling ok. Took quite some time to figure out how this could be so. If everyone agrees, I will go through the projects and update them accordingly.
