Furthermore, the release will provide dedicated compatibility features to ensure GEF FX, GEF MVC.FX, and GEF Zest.FX can be installed into an equinox environment without problems (see #478461 for details):

  • GEF FX Equinox Compatibility 5.0.0
    •  org.eclipse.gef.fx.compatibility.equinox (feature) [local update-site only]
      • org.eclipse.gef.fx.compatibility.equinox (fragment)
  • GEF MVC.FX Equinox Compatibility 5.0.0
    • org.eclipse.gef.mvc.fx.compatibility.equinox (feature) [local update-site only]
      • org.eclipse.gef.mvc.fx.compatibility.equinox (fragment)
  • GEF Zest.FX Equinox Compatibility 5.0.0
    • org.eclipse.gef.zest.fx.compatibility.equinox (feature) [local update-site only]
      • org.eclipse.gef.zest.fx.compatibility.equinox (fragment)

Please note that those features/plug-ins marked as [undeployed] are not promoted to any update-site, while those marked with [local update-site only] will not be included in the simultaneous releases update-site, but only on the local GEF/GEF4 update-sites.

Unless patches/pull-requests are provided by the community, the GEF-Legacy (Draw2d, GEF (MVC), and Zest) components will be re-contributed in their 4.0.0 (Neon) release revisions.

Compatibility

Because of the renamings, the 5.0.0 (Oxygen) release components are not backwards compatible to the https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/tools.gef/releases/4.1.0-neon.1 release.

Target Environments

The GEF components provided within this release are designed against the JavaSE-1.8 minimal target environment. Compatibility with JavaSE-1.9 is intended (intensive tests with JDK-9 early access builds have been performed).

All components are developed to be backwards compatible with Eclipse Luna, Mars, and Neon. Testing is performed with JavaSE-1.8 on Eclipse Luna and Oxygen respectively.
