Hello,

The minimum eclipse version for support of java 8 execution environments
is 4.3.2. The FreeBSD eclipse ports are pretty old, even eclipse-devel
(which I have been using for what seems like years) is on 4.2. Is it
possible to upgrade, so that at least eclipse 4.3.2 is available. Then
java devs can experiment with java 8 execution environments and compiler
compliance levels of 1.8.

regards,
Patrick
