Can we use -source 1.8 for 8u60?

Lambda expressions are already used in jdk8 MetalLookAndFeel:

$ grep -e '->' 
jdk/src/share/classes/javax/swing/plaf/metal/MetalLookAndFeel.java 
        LazyValue dialogBorder = t -> new MetalBorders.DialogBorder();
        LazyValue questionDialogBorder = t -> new 
MetalBorders.QuestionDialogBorder();
            "ToolBar.rolloverBorder", (LazyValue) t -> 
MetalBorders.getToolBarRolloverBorder(),
            "ToolBar.nonrolloverBorder", (LazyValue) t -> 
MetalBorders.getToolBarNonrolloverBorder(),
            "RootPane.frameBorder", (LazyValue) t -> new 
MetalBorders.FrameBorder(),
            "RootPane.errorDialogBorder", (LazyValue) t -> new 
MetalBorders.ErrorDialogBorder(),
            "RootPane.warningDialogBorder", (LazyValue) t -> new 
MetalBorders.WarningDialogBorder(),

So I would assume that to use or not to use Java 8 source constructs depends 
on where exactly you want to use them.
