New and Noteworthy

List of bug fixes and enhancements in 0.21.0-SNAPSHOT

Compiler

The embedded JDT compiler has been updated to a version that supports Java 8 (bug 430986)

Packaging

If you use Java 7 or higher, symbolic links in product tar archives are now preserved as links in the archive instead of being inlined (bug 429809)
This is particularly useful for MacOS distributions which create a symbolic link to the launcher binary Eclipse.app/Contents/MacOS/eclipse. Also, it may now be interesting to create symbolic links via root files.
Add support for 256x256 BMPs used for product icons on Windows (bug 433971)

Test Execution

A regression in Tycho 0.20.0 has been fixed: Environment variables were not inherited to forked test processes (bug 431793)

Other

The embedded OSGi runtime used by Tycho during build has been updated to use Equinox and p2 from the Eclipse Luna release (bug 429442)
