Overview
Sl No | Java Version Support | JDT Bug(s) | Remarks |
1 | Java 10 | Top Level Java 10 Bugs | Last Release (3/2018) |

Technical Debt - Current and Past Releases
JDK 10
Query used is this; Generic JEP query is this. (Yes, we may get a JDK 10, 11, etc., after all: Proposal from jdk-dev list) For each Java X (10,11 etc) - add an additional weeks effort for pde related (3d) and misc sanity (2d).
Investigate Java 10 features and the possible support from JDT Core Top Level Bug.
