Yes - not following what your point is here. That's how all parts of JBDS 8 and JBoss tools 4.2.x was. It's also what jbds 9 will be for now - but exploring if we must support java 7 or have to do tricks to have only certain parts of jbds 8 require java 8. 

Such as arquillian and batch Java EE tooling.
