IMPORTANT NOTE
- The following lines should be added in all headers of modified files for Java™ 8 implementation:
* This is an implementation of an early-draft specification developed under the Java * Community Process (JCP) and is made available for testing and evaluation purposes * only. The code is not compatible with any specification of the JCP. *
What to do to set up the IDE
- Checkout the BETA_JAVA8 branch of the following git repositories:
- JDT/Core repository - git://git.eclipse.org/gitroot/jdt/eclipse.jdt.core.git
- You need to install a JDK8 build as an installed JRE in order to run the tests using the JavaSE-1.8 Execution Environment.
- For more information on how to work with git repositories, look at http://wiki.eclipse.org/Platform-releng/Git_Workflows .
- As API Baseline, use 3.8 (or 3.8 RC4 until 3.8 is released).
Disclaimer
This is a work in progress. The contents of the BETA_JAVA8 branch will be updated as the changes are made to the JSR Specification.
If you need any help with this, please contact the JDT/Core team through either the forum or Bugzilla.
