This is a old topic but I just wanted to point out that I have searched enough to find that Indigo version can't be updated to S.E 1.8 here the link which is given on eclipse website to update the Execution Environment but if you try it will throw error for Indigo.

Here is the link where the Information about execution environment is given.

This shows the step by step to update Execution environment.

I have tried to update Execution environment and I got the same error.

I can say that Java 1.8 does in fact work with Eclipse Luna ( the beta version released around March 17, 2014) or later. I tried it and it was good.

Also, I noticed that in the Eclipse Marketplace, there are now plugins to install functionality into Kepler to support JDK1.8. I haven't tried the plugin myself though.
