[jdt-core-dev] Building org.eclipse.jdt.annotation with Java7 fails

[Tom Schindl <tom.schindl@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I'm trying to build BETA_JAVA8 branch as part of a CBI build and it
fails in org.eclipse.jdt.annotation because you are using
java.lang.annotation.ElementType.TYPE_USE which is only available since
Java8.

So is this only an oversight or do you really require JDK8 for building
the next version of JDT?
