Tycho-1.0 was released in Feb 2017, but it requires Java 8 for building, since http://wiki.eclipse.org/Tycho/Release_Notes/0.25#Other

As per the Tycho RN, it is still possible to build and test against Java 7, but needs some investigation and setup in the POMs if that is still desired. Ideally, tcf-1.6 would support Java 8 and up only, then upgrading to Tycho-1.0 is a simple change of versions in org.eclipse.tcf/admin/pom-config.xml .

Maybe the tycho-version could dynamically be chosen as 1.0 if a Java 8 VM is 
detected, see also https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=518176
