Hi John, Jimmy,

I would like to share some thoughts about JDK version.

According to release notes
(http://www.eclipse.org/eclipse/development/readme_eclipse_4.4.php#TargetOperatingEnvironments)
both JVM versions are supported. But JVM v8 have several advantages like
lambdas, Nashorn, performance improvement and so on. Moreover, Oracle JDK7's
end of life is in few months
(http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/eol-135779.html). From my perspective,
if there is choice between 2 versions of JDK for maintenance of any product, I
prefer latest build of latest JDK version.

Best regards,
  Michael
