So in my understanding, Ubuntu 14.04 LTS is in the same camp as RHEL 6:

Still working and supported in Oxygen, but not a reference platform any more.
Which means, less test automation and potentially no committers using it actively.

If that is the common understanding, then I'm fine removing it from the "target operating environments" table. Perhaps we could find a way better clarifying "minimal supported version" versus "reference platform" in the Plan.

+1 to drop Ubuntu 14.04 from target environments primarily because of the vastly improved experience on Ubuntu 16.04 with newer GTK3 versions as explained by Alex in bug 498106, this would allow us to set the expectations right and also hopefully provide an opportunity for consumers to consider moving up to newer GTK3 versions along with newer Eclipse releases...

+1 to drop Ubuntu 14.04 for the same reasons Arun is giving

Need to update the plan regarding the delay of Java 9 to July 2017.

Comment 5 Dani Megert 2016-12-07 10:09:47 EST

Update 1 contains the following changes:
- Updated JRE versions
- Removed Ubuntu 14.04
- Updated 'Appendix Execution Environment by Bundle'
- Sub-project plans have the new Java 9 date

Also sent a note to the sub-project leads to update their plans.

I've sneaked in another change into this update: added the CQ deadline date (2017-02-17).
