Eclipse 4.2 and Java 8

I found this page that says Java 8 support for Juno shares, but I can’t find any more information on how soon people will appreciate being able to write first closures in Eclipse and get productivity with this stuff.

Has anyone understood how long we still have to wait? Java7 functions were very fast in 3.7, so for some reason it is strange that this task is postponed.

Any comments, ideas? Or maybe even a good workaround?

One of the key reasons Java support has been delayed is that Java 8 will be available after the release of Eclipse Juno. The main release of Eclipse cannot be shipped with functionality dependent on an incomplete release of Java.

Java 7 support went through a similar issue with Eclipse Indigo. The tool for Java 7 continued in a branch that was merged with the main indigo stream after Java 7 was released, so you saw the toolkit support in Indigo SR1.

I would expect a similar situation for Java 8. Perhaps a branch already exists for this work. The best place to check the status is the error referenced by the document found.

You can give IntelliJ Idea a try that has prior support for it, see http://confluence.jetbrains.com/display/IDEADEV/IDEA+12+EAP
