What are the benefits of migrating to RAD version 8 for Commerce?

Question

I can tell that you can, if you are running the newest FEP, as there is an official migration guide. There is also a nice list of new features on the RAD site. What I can't find is a list of features that are relevant for Commerce.

As far as I can tell, all I get is a slightly newer (but still outdated) Eclipse platform. Am I overlooking something?

Answer 1

The answer is: Not much, unless some blocking bug is fixed. The Eclipse that RAD 8 is based on is pretty much as outdated as the one in RAD 7.5, so no modern plugins or GWT for you!!!!
