I want to play a bit with the recently released Java 8 on OS X Mavericks, but have problems configuring the compiler compliance level
to anything beyond 1.7
.
I tried this with a recent Luna build (4.4.0M6) as well as with Kepler (4.3 SR2), patched with this.
What am I doing wrong?
I think I got it right now. I just re-installed the patch from here and now
1.8
is shown as compiler level.I think while the "About" dialog showed me that the patch was installed, it probably wasn't done properly, because it updated other plugins / the IDE to SR2 at the same time.
Anways, this is solved.
I had some problems getting Java SE 8 to work in Eclipse too. I followed the Instructions in the Eclipse wiki for the Eclipse Kepler SR2 (4.3.2) version.
After that, I could choose version 1.8 instead of 1.7, which solved the problem. The instructions seem to link to the same patch you used, though, but maybe you missed something important.
