Plugins need to be configured to build against specific JDK version.
How can I change the version of Java that my plugin uses?

    A plug-in can't use a different version of Java from the rest of the application. It can specify a minimum version that it requires.

  • As @greg-449 already said, the minimum Java version can be set in the MANIFEST.MF e.g. with a line like Bundle-RequiredExecutionEnvironment: JavaSE-1.8. But as far as I know there is nothing for the maximum version (which might be a problem when things are not only added but also removed from the JRE which is the case since Java 9). Since a Plug-in project is an extended Java project you can configure a specific JRE in Project > Properties (which I guess will be ignored when using Tycho for building).

  • Updating a plugin (with a new version number) can change its settings. Note that the plugin will not be run if it requests a version of Java higher than the one being used to run the app.

  • Some of the plugins are configured to build against JDK 1.6, although my machine is by default bundled with JDK 1.8. Could I force them to be built against v 1.8?
