Mars is a past version of Eclipse. Please visit our download page for the latest version of Eclipse. Eclipse Mars Packages (2015 - v 4.5.0) Eclipse Mars SR1 Packages (2015 - v 4.5.1) Eclipse Mars SR2 Packages (2016 - v 4.5.2) Eclipse Neon Packages (2016 - v 4.6.0). In Eclipse with Java 9 Support for Oxygen (see below), you can open the type in a JavaSE-9 JRE and perform Show In Package Explorer. Inside the 'JRE System Library' node, the Package Explorer will show the module in which that type resides. Eclipse.ini summary.

APIs
We certify that the public Scout APIs in this release are production quality. As a significant amount of commercial customer applications are based on these APIs we evaluate/communicate changes accordingly.
Compatibility with Previous Releases
Scout RT 5.0 will NOT be compatible with Scout 4.0.
Scout SDK 5.0 will NOT be compatible with Scout SDK 4.0. However, the Scout SDK API is not yet used frequently.
We try to make migration to new releases as easy as possible, however to keep our code clean and simple we need to change the API in new releases. There are no more API changes after milestone M6. API Compatibility rules are described in the contribution guidelines in more detail.How to migrate from 4.0 to 5.0 is described in these individual bugs.
Eclipse Ide Mars
End-of-Life
Some functionality will be dropped completely with Scout 5.0. We suppose this won't be an issue for most Scout projects.
- Java Versions Java 6 is not supported anymore
- Eclipse Versions: The following eclipse versions that where previously supported or partially supported, are not supported anymore
- Scout RT: 4.4
- Scout SDK: 3.7
- Rap Versions: RAP 2.3 is not supported anymore, the current RAP version is 3.0
Ramp down Policy
We use daily builds. No API changes after M6, no new features after M7. In the RC phase only bugs marked P2 or higher or severity major or higher will be fixed.

Target Environment
JRE
All of Eclipse Scout is 'pure' Java code and has no direct dependence on the underlying operating system. The chief dependence is therefore on the Java Runtime (JRE) itself. The Scout 5.0 release of is still compatible with Java SE 7.
As the announced end of public upates for Java 7 is scheduled for April 2015, Scout projects working with Oracle products might want to consider moving to Java 8 as soon as possible.The eclipse scout package only runs with Java >=1.7.
Java Version | Support for Scout Runtime/SDK |
---|---|
7 | supported |
8 | recommended |
Eclipse Platform
For the Mars release of Scout we recommend developing Scout with Eclipse Mars (4.5) and using Eclipse 3.8 as a target platform. Scout is still using the compatibility layer for the eclipse 3.x stream.(See Scout/Targets for more detail).
The following Eclipse platforms are supported:
Eclipse Version | Scout Runtime | Scout SDK |
---|---|---|
Indigo (3.7.2) | supported | - |
Juno (3.8.2) | recommended | supported |
Juno (4.2.2) | - | supported |
Kepler (4.3.2) | - | supported |
Luna (4.4) | - | supported |
Mars (4.5) | supported | recommended |
RAP Version
Eclipse Scout and RAP are participating in the Simultaneous Release and therefore needs to support RAP 3.0.
RAP Version | Scout Runtime |
---|---|
3.0 | supported |
Browser Versions
The web UI for Scout is based on RAP and therefore only supports the browser version supported by RAP:
- Microsoft Internet Explorer 9+
- Google Chrome 7+
- Firefox 9+
- Safari 5+
- Android 3 (Limited)
Tested Platforms
We focus our testing on a handful of popular combinations (OS, HW Arch, Java VM, Eclipse platform); these are our reference platforms. Scout undoubtedly runs fine in many operating environments beyond the reference platforms we test. However, since we do not systematically test them we cannot vouch for them. Problems encountered when running Scout on a non-reference platform that cannot be recreated on any reference platform will be given lower priority than problems with running Scout on a reference platform.
Scout 5.0 will be tested and validated on the following reference platforms:
Operating System | OS Version | Hardware | Java VM (vendor, version, arch) | Eclipse Platform (version, arch) |
---|---|---|---|---|
Windows | 7 | x86 64-bit | Oracle JDK 7, 32-bit | 3.8.2, 32-bit |
Oracle JDK 7, 32-bit | 4.5, 32-bit, EPP | |||
Oracle JDK 7, 64-bit | 4.5, 64-bit, EPP | |||
Oracle JDK 8, 64-bit | 4.5, 64-bit, EPP | |||
10 | x86 64-bit | Oracle JDK 8, 64-bit | 4.5, 64-bit, EPP | |
Ubuntu Linux | 15.10 | x86 64-bit | OpenJDK 8, 64-bit | 4.5, 64-bit, EPP |
x86 32-bit | OpenJDK 7, 32-bit | 4.5, 32-bit, EPP | ||
Apple Mac OS | 10.8 | x86 64-bit | Oracle JDK 7, 64-bit | 4.5, 64-bit, EPP |
Build Process
Scout is built on Hudson @ Eclipse.
Scout is using maven and tycho for building.
- Gerrit Jobs run build against lowest target platform with runtime unit tests
- Nightly Jobs run against all platforms with all unit tests
- Release Jobs can be parameterized for a specific tag and deploy to a specific updatesite
- Some tests currently still run only at BSI's infrastructure: Scout GUI tests using java.awt.Robot, because they need a fully-fledged desktop environment.

JRE
All of Eclipse Scout is 'pure' Java code and has no direct dependence on the underlying operating system. The chief dependence is therefore on the Java Runtime (JRE) itself. The Scout 5.0 release of is still compatible with Java SE 7.
As the announced end of public upates for Java 7 is scheduled for April 2015, Scout projects working with Oracle products might want to consider moving to Java 8 as soon as possible.The eclipse scout package only runs with Java >=1.7.
Java Version | Support for Scout Runtime/SDK |
---|---|
7 | supported |
8 | recommended |
Eclipse Platform
For the Mars release of Scout we recommend developing Scout with Eclipse Mars (4.5) and using Eclipse 3.8 as a target platform. Scout is still using the compatibility layer for the eclipse 3.x stream.(See Scout/Targets for more detail).
The following Eclipse platforms are supported:
Eclipse Version | Scout Runtime | Scout SDK |
---|---|---|
Indigo (3.7.2) | supported | - |
Juno (3.8.2) | recommended | supported |
Juno (4.2.2) | - | supported |
Kepler (4.3.2) | - | supported |
Luna (4.4) | - | supported |
Mars (4.5) | supported | recommended |
RAP Version
Eclipse Scout and RAP are participating in the Simultaneous Release and therefore needs to support RAP 3.0.
RAP Version | Scout Runtime |
---|---|
3.0 | supported |
Browser Versions
The web UI for Scout is based on RAP and therefore only supports the browser version supported by RAP:
- Microsoft Internet Explorer 9+
- Google Chrome 7+
- Firefox 9+
- Safari 5+
- Android 3 (Limited)
Tested Platforms
We focus our testing on a handful of popular combinations (OS, HW Arch, Java VM, Eclipse platform); these are our reference platforms. Scout undoubtedly runs fine in many operating environments beyond the reference platforms we test. However, since we do not systematically test them we cannot vouch for them. Problems encountered when running Scout on a non-reference platform that cannot be recreated on any reference platform will be given lower priority than problems with running Scout on a reference platform.
Scout 5.0 will be tested and validated on the following reference platforms:
Operating System | OS Version | Hardware | Java VM (vendor, version, arch) | Eclipse Platform (version, arch) |
---|---|---|---|---|
Windows | 7 | x86 64-bit | Oracle JDK 7, 32-bit | 3.8.2, 32-bit |
Oracle JDK 7, 32-bit | 4.5, 32-bit, EPP | |||
Oracle JDK 7, 64-bit | 4.5, 64-bit, EPP | |||
Oracle JDK 8, 64-bit | 4.5, 64-bit, EPP | |||

Build Process
Scout is built on Hudson @ Eclipse.
Scout is using maven and tycho for building.
- Gerrit Jobs run build against lowest target platform with runtime unit tests
- Nightly Jobs run against all platforms with all unit tests
- Release Jobs can be parameterized for a specific tag and deploy to a specific updatesite
- Some tests currently still run only at BSI's infrastructure: Scout GUI tests using java.awt.Robot, because they need a fully-fledged desktop environment.
