Java 11 support for the Eclipse

Java 11 support is added for Eclipse. Remember, this is not part of the simultaneous Release "Eclipse 2018-09(4.9)", so we need to update the eclipse using the update site which provides the support for "Java 11" language features such as lambda with var type in the JDT and to see "Complier compliance level" support for Java 11 in the Java Compiler preferences.

Eclipse Simultaneous Release 2018-09 is now "Eclipse 4.9"

I was expecting Eclipse 4.9 sometime during June, 2019 as part of the Eclipse annual release cycle. It's kind of surprising for me when I heard about Eclipse Simultaneous Release 2018-09 (SimRel 2018-09 ) is now called as "Eclipse 4.9" 

Each annual release typically occurs in June, with follow-up update releases in September (*.1), December (*.2), and March (*.3). 

Whatever, let's welcome "Eclipse 4.9" and it's time for one more upgrade!

Here are New and Noteworthy changes in the Eclipse 4.9

More interesting part is here from the above link:

The releases will be named following the pattern year.month: SimRel YYYY-MM.

For instance SimRel 2018-09, SimRel 2018-12, SimRel 2019-03, SimRel 2019-06…

Note that unlike past years, the name will no longer change annually with an alphabetically increasing name (Kepler, Luna, Mars, Neon, Oxygen, Photon) but will instead remain the singular name of the train.
