		<p><b>Ottawa, Canada – April 11, 2014</b> - The Eclipse Foundation is pleased to announce
				the availability of Eclipse Kepler packages with the Java&trade; 8 support.
				These downloads contain the original Eclipse Kepler SR2 packages with Java&trade; 8
				patches applied. While the patches themselves have been fully tested,
				the packages have not been individually verified. To download these
				packages, please visit our <a href="/downloads/index-java8.php">Java&trade; 8 download page</a>. For details on how
				to discover and install the Java 8 support into your existing Kepler SR2
				installation please visit our <a href="/downloads/java8/">Java&trade; 8 support page</a>.
		</p>

		<p>The Java&trade; 8 support contains the following:</p>

		<ul>
			<li>Eclipse compiler implementation for all the new Java&trade; 8 language enhancements</li>
			<li>Updated significant features to support Java&trade; 8, such as Search and Refactoring</li>
			<li>Quick Assist and Clean Up to migrate anonymous class creations to lambda expressions and back</li>
			<li>New formatter options for lambdas</li>
			<li>Java 8 Facet for Web Tools for Eclipse Kepler SR2 for Java EE developers</li>
      <li>Java 8 support for m2e for Eclipse Kepler SR2 for Maven integration in Eclipse</li>
		</ul>

		<p>Note that PDE API Tools have not yet adopted the new language constructs. This will be completed in
		the Eclipse Luna release available in June 2014. Java&trade; 8 support will also be available
		in the Eclipse Luna M7 packages expected to be available on May 9, 2014.
