[In progress] Runtime classpath separation

The previous releases provided no classpath separation for the Eclipse runtime classpath. This meant that when a user launched a Java application or executed a test via JDT, then all dependencies from all configurations were available on the classpath. 

Minor release, adding support for more operations and parameters from the Language Server Protocol, and including some bugfixes.

This is the first official release of the Eclipse Unide project. It provided a validation server for testing and implementing PPMP messages via http/REST. PPMP-Bindings for Java will also be provided within the first release.

This release provides minimal support for Java 9 (modules)

Oxygen.1 service release

Neon.3 service release

Neon.2 service release

Features

• Adapt NetUtil.setSslVerification to honor http.<url>.sslVerify
• Log warnings about invalid git config entries
• Log warnings about invalid RefSpecs in git config files
• Add ICommitMessageProvider2 for caret positioning in commit messages (bug 516867)

Usability Improvements

• Enable editing RefSpec on double click
• Trim history search pattern

Features

• Implement atomic BatchRefUpdates for RefDirectory. The existing packed-refs file provides a mechanism for implementing atomic multi-ref updates without any changes to the on-disk format or lockfile protocol. We just need to make sure that there are no loose refs involved in the transaction, which we can achieve by packing the refs while holding locks on all loose refs. Full details of the algorithm are in the PackedBatchRefUpdate javadoc.

This release adds Java 9 and JUnit 5 support. Details can be found in https://www.eclipse.org/eclipse/news/4.7.1a/.
