Why isn't Drools working with Java 8?

Question

I just installed the final version of Java 8. When I try to build my project with Maven, many tests fail if I use Java 8, but pass fine with Java 7. I\'ve tried running it

Answer 1

Update org.eclipse.jdt.core.jar to latest available one .

In our case we have updated org.eclipse.jdt.core-3.5.1.v_972_R35x.jar to org.eclipse.jdt.core_3.11.2.v20160128-0629.jar .

This is the jar which decides the java_version with which the drools code will get compiled.

once ur old java-6 compatible drools code getting compiled in java -8 . u can run it using java -8 without any such error . These are proven steps . Please revert back if any doubt .
