I agree, that this is unfortunate and should be fixed.
But doesn’t that only affect users, who have installed Java 8 plus the 
Eclipse-support *and*
are using an environment for Java 8 but have the compiler set to something 
below 8?

Is that something many people do? If so they will likely run into many other 
problems, as they
now program against Java 8 JDK which has a lot of cool new classes and members 
that won’t be available as soon as they
run the code on a Java7 VM or compile it against a Java 7 JDK.

So IMHO this is not a stopper for having a more prominent download for the Java 
8 support.
