+  [1.8] Adopt Java 8 in API Tools

+The PDE annotations ( and the corresponding javadoc tags) for restrictions on usage are now supported on the new Java 8 features.
+The API Errors/Warnings is reported when any of the restriction rules is violated.

+Launch configurations can default to an unbound execution environment 
+
+The eclipse launch configuration now has an execution environment that is both bound to a JRE and valid for the minimum

+could have launched eclipse with unbound execution environment.

+Bug 390930 - [1.8] Update to ASM 5.x 
+
+Now ASM 5.0.1 is adopted in API tools. This was required to support some of the Java 8 features and also
