I was a little curious how this could be, so I checked around and came across this:
"We can't legally include Java 8 tools in an Eclipse release before Java 8 itself is released. Based on the current java 8 release date estimate, we would be able to include support in the Luna (4.4.0) release."[0]
And since the release date was 2014/3/18 [1] I really can't see why there would be much complaining, if any.

- pjmlp 13y agoBecause Netbeans and InteliJ were Java 8 ready on the release date?
- rch 13y agoI've stuck with Eclipse (or have been stuck with it) because of the massive ecosystem of associated tools. It takes a lot of effort to predictably develop and release those tools without various projects stepping on one another. So, being a couple of months late just comes along naturally as a byproduct of that which is keeping me with it in the first place.
