Too bad this wasn't spotted earlier. Is anyone following the Sapphire 
mailing-list or bugzilla component?

Well, Java 7 has reached end-of-life a few days ago, so I would support 
the idea of requiring Java 8 for those components. If they are part of 
JBDS default package, then it means that JBDS will also require Java 8.
If we want to keep Java 7, we can simply include only Sapphire 8.2 in 
the target-platform and keep Sapphire 9.0 out. But I guess Sapphire 8.2 
and 9.0 cannot be installed simultaneously; can they? If not, then we 
need to make sure no other project that is important to us and that we 
want to work together with JBoss Tools relies on newer Sapphire.
So is anyone aware of some other project that requires Sapphire and that 
we'd like to keep compatible with?
