[jarthana]

Go from JDT Core. The failures on JDK 25 configurations are due to the incompatibility of the tests with a JRE 25. These will get looked at in the BETA_JAVA25 branch.

[noopur2507]

Go from JDT UI.

The two failing tests are transient and tracked in eclipse-jdt/eclipse.jdt.ui#79 and eclipse-jdt/eclipse.jdt.ui#2455.

[SougandhS]

Go from JDT Debug
Failing tests are related to java 25 and will be looked at in BETA_JAVA25 branch

For the record: We had a re-spin today and the new RC2 is I20250828-0630.
But I see the initial message has already been updated, so I assume Rahul/Suby are aware of it.

[HannesWell]

Go from PDE.

The failing tests are either intermittent flaws in the tests or known/understood issues that are due to incorrect test-setup for not yet released java versions.

[elsazac]

Go from SWT.

Yes, I’ve done the update already.
