I'm on board, except that I'd like to see where the discussion goes on the epp-dev list. I would like to see what consensus is reached about the concern that corporate environments may not be on Java 8 fast enough. At the CDT summit of EclipseCon NA2015 we actually said we'd move to java 8 for our 8.8 release [1]. But as Marc-Andre pointed out, it may not be very nice to force users to move to java 8 in an SR release. CDT 9.0 seems ideal.

The question is starting to fly around the Eclipse-o-sphere. I’ve been using Java 8 for some other work I’ve been doing and it’s a shock going back to Java 7 to work on Ecilpse. Lambda’s when doing async programming is a godsend. And we really need to
figure out how to get DSF to be lambda friendly.
Any thoughts about whether this would be a good thing or bad thing?
Thanks,
Doug.
