Current Status
So far there are 4 nodes that we need to support in usage and tag scanning:
- IntersectionType
- LambdaExpression
- PackageQualifiedType
- ExtraDimension
We would require a version of ASM to be able to read the classfiles containing Java 8 bytecodes to have the delta comparator work.
Currently there is an issue open for Java 8 support in ASM, but does not appear to be worked on: ASM bug 350023
Remaining Work
TBD
How to Test
- Get the API tools source from the PDE UI git repo.
- Follow the instructions on testing the Java™ 8 support on the JDT Core wiki page.
