[jbosstools-dev] Current major bug in JDT for Java 8 users

[Victor Rubezhny]

For Eclipse Luna there is an integration build released with Java8 support:

http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops4/I20140318-0830/ - 
Eclipse 4.4.0 Integration Build: I20140318-0830

WTP is also going to release their integration build with Java8 support 
(but it's not declared yet, and as such it's not available at 
download.eclipse.org yet): 
http://build.eclipse.org/webtools/committers/wtp4x-R3.6.0-I/20140327085334/I-3.6.0-20140327085334/

Probably we should try these builds (upon the WTP one is declared).
