HEADS UP: Switched to 1.8 source/target in build (in graphics repository).

[Tom Schindl]

I highly doubt that eclipse can handle *any* java8 code you'd have to run with a special jdt git branch. You can see the state in http://wiki.eclipse.org/JDT_Core/Java8 and/or https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=380190
