With Xtext and MWE going to 2024-03 as minimal tp and J17 we should follow

@mehmet-karaman maybe you can find some time.

for the J17 part check what was done in the MWE and Xtext repos

@cdietrich
I've finished my current task, I am continueing here now..

[mehmet-karaman]

@cdietrich the Java 17 part is done.. Please check if it contains all known places.. The platform 2024-03 changes will follow.

[mehmet-karaman]

@cdietrich I've a few questions on the min. platform and min. xtext tp task:

• Xpect bases still on xtext 2.14.0, should we update also this to 2.34?
• Why do we have version names in project names? Why we don't name them minimal_eclipse_xtext instead of eclipse_2023_03-xtext_2_31_0 and eclipse-xtext_nightly instead of eclipse_2024_06-xtext_nightly ?

[cdietrich]

• i dont think there is a specific reason for version names. => renaming is a good idea. may we also can put them just into the root folder as in xtext repo.
• yes 2.34 / mwe 1.11/2.17 would be ok

[mehmet-karaman]

Why does the xtext-r202403.target use the following repo https://download.eclipse.org/tools/orbit/simrel/orbit-aggregation/2025-03 ?
Shouldn't it be using the 2024-03 one? Shall I use the same?

[cdietrich]

No idea. I guess just stupid search and replace
Maybe it should work without orbit at all too

[mehmet-karaman]

@cdietrich do we have a script or something which sets these bundle-version=".." automatically? Or are we doing this manually? Because the Eclipse bundles have different version numbers for each bundle and I've to check the repository to find the according number.. Is there an easier way?

i dont know
if you can reuse what sebastian has added to xtext.util at
eclipse-xtext/xtext#3293

It has some hardcoded assumptions about Xtext itself, but generally speaking it could serve as a blueprint for mwe2, too.

[mehmet-karaman]

Thank you .. This was very helpful. Just doinng some cleanup and the commit will be ready.

This task is done. I am closing this issue ticket.
