New and Noteworthy
List of bug fixes and enhancements in 0.21.0-SNAPSHOT
Tycho Runtime
- The embedded OSGi runtime used by Tycho during build has been updated to use Equinox and p2 from the Eclipse Luna release (bug 429442)
Compiler
- Use JDT compiler from Luna which is Java 8 enabled (bug 430986)
Packaging
- If you use Java 7 or higher, symbolic links in product tar archives are now preserved as a link instead of inlined.
This is mostly useful for MacOS distros which use a symbolic link to the launcher binary Eclipse.app/Contents/MacOS/eclipse or generally if you create symbolic links for root files. See bug 429809 - Add support for 256x256 BMPs used for product icons on Windows (bug 433971)
