Looks like a perfectly reasonable step to me. On a related note .. is
there any reference to when this change will be made by the Eclipse
IDE itself. I could nto easily find any references to it online.
It is expected and have been suggested Eclipse Neon (next year release)
will use Java 8.
There are actually now plugins in Mars that requires Java 8 (sapphire is
one) and thats annoying when rest of train works with Java 7 ;/
so +1 on updating to java 8 for next year release train.

Just a heads up. I plan to change m2e minimal runtime execution
environment to java 8 for the next release after 1.6/mars.
I don't have a "killer" feature that makes java 8 absolutely
required,
but I believe staying current with java language and libraries will
make
m2e little more interesting to existing and future contributors.
Also, I don't expect this change will affect majority of m2e users
until
Eclipse N**** yearly release sometime in June 2016, at which point
Oracle java 7 will be out of public support for 14+ months and java
7
compatibility will not be required by many.
If you have any comments or concerns, please post them here.
