Packages for Windows on ARM #162

Open HannesWell opened 4 months ago

HannesWell commented 4 months ago

Now that the Eclipse Platform supports Windows on ARM (WoA) natively I think it would be good to provide packages for that environment too.

But since there are no Temurin Releases for WoA yet (https://github.com/adoptium/adoptium-support/issues/616) and we are late in the release-cycle, I assume we won't have it for the June release, do we?

Part of https://github.com/eclipse-platform/eclipse.platform.releng.aggregator/issues/577

I believe that is a safe assumption. I personally really do not wish to deal with an architecture for which there is no JustJ JRE. Too much special case handling… And RC1 is not appropriate timing.

@merks what about having WoA zip packages without any embedded JustJ JRE? is that also too much a special case? (and no installer.)

merks commented 4 months ago

It's late in the cycle. The inclusions of JustJ in the products would need to be conditional on the architecture:

      <feature id="org.eclipse.justj.epp" installMode="root"/>

We really need this:

It always seems just around the corner but also with no end in sight.
