Description Dani Megert CLA 2011-09-21 05:49:03 EDT 
3.8.

The next Java SE release is version 8, which is currently scheduled for October 2012. This release is expected to contain extensions to the Java language, including support for lambda expressions, default methods, annotations on types, a modularity system and minor language changes. 

Eclipse Java development tooling will make progress towards compiling, editing and launching applications for Java 8 for those parts which have publicly available specifications. Work in progress will be made available as feature patches for early adopters while we work towards the official Java SE 8 release.

Just for reference since this bug is linked from the Eclipse project Juno plan: This plan item was deferred for the Juno release. Bug 380190 tracks work towards Java 8 support in Kepler (June 2013) and beyond.
