Building with java 1.8?

I’m just getting my feet wet with the IDE (eclipse) & src environment…I have the java 8 SDK installed and when I try and run through the wiki (https://github.com/openhab/openhab/wiki/IDE-Setup).

In eclipse I have the complier set to jdk 1.8.

I keep getting errors in org.openhab.io.myopenhab

Any ideas on how to fix this? Do I need to use jdk 1.7?

I’m compiling with Eclipse on Java 1.8 (Ubuntu 14.04 64bit), works fine.
Have you tried first building the workspace just with “mvn clean install” from the root directory?

I’m using windows 10, JDK 1.8 and eclipse : Luna Service Release 2 (4.4.2)

Maven seems to compile everything fine (mvn clean install) but using eclipse I get lots of errors (see screen dump)

I’ve tried selecting and pressing refresh, selecting and pressing clean, but nothing seems to work…any ideas?
