Use Java 8 in Eclipse

The Eclipse UI does not yet acknowledge the existence of Java 8. If you wish to use Java 8 features, manually configure it by entering these lines in <project>/.settings/org.eclipse.jdt.core.prefs: 
org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.codegen.targetPlatform=1.8
org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.compliance=1.8
org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.source=1.8
