Previews
Eclipse Java™ 9 Support (BETA) for Oxygen is available as an early-access feature patch on the Eclipse Marketplace (this preview is no longer available).
- This is constantly evolving and requires the most recent integration build of 4.7.
To test Java 9 features, you need a recent Java 9 install, available from http://jdk.java.net/9 .
Recent Java 9 previews require you to add --add-modules=java.se.ee to the vmargs, see https://www.eclipse.org/eclipse/news/4.6/platform.php#java-9
Update site for complete Eclipse SDK builds from the BETA_JAVA9 branches for JDT committers (others use at own risk):
http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/4.7-Y-builds
Development
- The following lines must be added in all headers of modified files for the Java™ 9 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. *
- Use
@since 3.13 BETA_JAVA9on all newly added members (same bundle version as in Oxygen).
- Every week before the Thursday BETA_JAVA9 builds, we merge changes from master into the BETA_JAVA9 branch. This strategy avoids piling up large differences between the two main development branches, avoids all the problems with trying to cherry-pick individual commits, and makes it easy to provide a patch build on top of master. Changes that should go into master and BETA_JAVA9 should first be released to master and then merged over using the normal process. Additional merges can occur at any time when required.
- The JDK 9 release is currently planned for September 21, 2017. Any change in the schedule will have an impact on Eclipse's support plan for Java 9.
