Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] Kepler SR3 for Java 8? 
How about first placing the download location(s) a bit more prominently on the website? 
The “official” download/install instructions seem to be in the wiki (wiki.eclipse.org/JDT/Eclipse_Java_8_Support_For_Kepler). That doesn’t look very official and rather looks like it is ready for bleeding edge hackers.
On the landing page (eclipse.org), I just see a link to a blog entry on Java8 support somewhere in the middle. Not very official either.
The download page (eclipse.org/downloads) doesn’t contain *any* hint.
