if you have a Java-8 enabled jdt core binary available as maven GAV somewhere, you should be able to plug it in following Thanh's example.

I did not configure it so I'm not 100%  positive but I believe this is the relevant section of our pom.xml [1].


Hope this helps,

I've heard that
* it is possible to change the JDT compiler jar used by the tycho-compiler-pluging - the Eclipse Platform/CBI uses this feature
* there is a JDT version which has rudimentary support for Java 8

I don't have any further details though. Hope you can get it to work.

Best regards

Well tycho compiles with ECJ (=JDT-core) and not javac so one needs to
adjust the compiler plugin tycho uses.

If you run Maven with a JDK8, Tycho should use it, no ?

    Hi,

    Now that JDK8 has beta builds out. Is it some how possible to get
maven
    tycho to use it?

    My problem is that I need to compile a project against JDK8 because
some
    parts needs its API but because this project also e.g. holds
Comparator
    implementations (the Comparator-interface has been extended) I'm
unable
    to compile it.
