How can I get Java 8 to work with Eclipse?
I have followed this guide but doesn't work. I've also seen the Eclipse Java 8 wiki page, but they don't explain what to do with the checked out git repositories.

For Kepler SR2 (4.3.2) a feature patch needs to be installed in order to get JAVA 8 support. Follow these steps:
Eclipse - Help (MENU) > Install New Software...
press 'Enter'
select category 'Eclipse Java 8 Support (for Kepler SR2)'
click 'Next'
click 'Next'
accept the license
click 'Finish'
restart Eclipse when asked

In order to have the desired JRE/ JDK on BuildPath, follow these steps.
Right click on Project from Package Explorer
Select BuildPath and then select Configure Builpath
Select Libraries Tab from the popped up Properties window
Select the current JRE System Library
Click Remove button
Click on Add Library button
Select JRE System Library
There you will be able to add your desired JRE/ JDK version using 3 different methods.
If you don't find your desired version of JRE/ JDK there in those 3 options, then you will have to install that first. The following link helps you in detail with screen shots to do the same. Hope it helps.
