---------------------------------------

I verified this on April 16 and came up with this:

I was able to install the update from Central (with the custom props), but there was a small issue which I reported to Eclipse:

Also this:

I was trying to have a project with WildFly runtime use java 1.8 but it turns out this is not possible - you cannot choose version 1.8 for java facet in a project - this is something that requires a change in our plugins if we want to enable this. So probably JBT 4.1.2 won’t be able to fully use java 8.

I created a JIRA for JBT 4.2 here: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-17126

Otherwise, it seems to work alright - I was able to create a java project with a java 8 thing in it (default method in abstract class) and once I installed the connector and changed the compliance level, Eclipse was able to recognize the new constructs.

> We decided to provide an easy way for JBT users to install Java 8 support in Eclipse Kepler SR2 in 1 click, instead of have to chase the update sites for JDT, M2e and WTP.
> * JDT Feature patch : http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/4.3-P-builds/
> * M2E 1.4.1 (org.eclipse.m2e.feature) http://download.eclipse.org/technology/m2e/releases/1.4/1.4.1.20140328-1905
> * WTP Feature Patch : http://download.eclipse.org/webtools/patches/drops/R3.5.2/P-3.5.2-20140329045715/repository
> All 3 features should be available via a unique connector in JBoss Central > Software Updates
