Great news! Now Forge is much closer to adopt JDK8 safely.
Good job JBT team!
After Max shared his interpretation of Eclipse adoption and impact of requiring Java 8 for our Mars release we agreed there is no way back and master branch can now use new Java 8 features (see this link http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/8-whats-new-2157071.html for details). Openshift is already using it and Eclipse Neon release is going to require Java 8 as well.
Just do not forget to change minimal EE to JavaSE-1.8 for bundles that use Java 8 specific features. Jenkins projects are already using Java 8 to build JBossTools and JBDS projects, so there should be no problems with nightly builds in case you decided to go for it.
