For years it was a lot of pain when developing for the Domino platform using Java 1.6 only. But now, Java 1.8 is available, and this allows to use the latest versions for a lot of libraries and development tools.
After installing FP8 to the Client, Eclipse allowes to use the Domino JRE in a JavaSE-1.8 environment:
This gives access to the latest M2Eclipse plugin (1.7.0). The old version problem when running with JRE 1.6…

Eclipse Updates? No problem, just do it!
Latest Java features like switch statement with Strings? Here we go:
String token = "FOO";
switch(token) {
case "FOO": return (T) Foo.class;
case "BAR": return (T) Bar.class;
}Third party libraries like Jackson 2.8.0? Works like a charm!
Thank you, IBM!
