Java Compiler Compliance Level 1.8 [message #1273126]

Dear forum

I struggle since two hours trying to get a first Java 8 interface to run.

The Eclipse Luna IDE 4.4M6 states: Error on "default" delete this token.

I also can not set the compiler level to 1.8...

Does anybody know why I can not choose a new compiler level?

I have linked the Installed JRE 1.8 and both got JRE 1.8 and JDK 1.8 installed.

Anyone?

Thank you and best regards

Dominik

Did you install the JDT feature patch? M6 does not by default come with
Java8 support.

Uff, no, is there a installation instruction for that?

https://wiki.eclipse.org/JDT/Eclipse_Java_8_Support_For_Kepler

I have a 4.4m6 build available which holds java8 support at
http://downloads.efxclipse.bestsolution.at/downloads/nightly/sdk/ it
holds many things so it might be appropriate for your needs so feel free
to use feature patches.

I builds themselves don't have any Java8 support yet! The download I
pointed to installs the feature patch available!
