For a project I need to get Java 8 to work on eclipse 4.2 because I want to work with an eclipse plugin that requires XText 2.3.1 and modify code that requires java 8 functionality.
I have tried later versions of eclipse, however those later versions are incapable of running xtext 2.3.1 and the required plugin. Is there some way of getting java 8 code to run on eclipse juno?
