Current Status
The root bug for tracking all Java 8 work in API tools is bug 410447 So far there are 4 nodes that we need to support in usage and tag scanning:
- IntersectionType
- LambdaExpression
- PackageQualifiedType
- ExtraDimension
We have to update ASM to a 5.x version to have the delta comparator work. This is covered in bug 390930
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.
