which feature? can you give example of code that currently does not work with pfff?
For instance, pfff would now start having to recognize new language constructs like Optionals, Lambda Expressions (and new accessors like, ArrayList::new instead of typing new ArrayList()).

Also, wouldn't addition of Streams, Functional Interfaces / Utils etc to std-lib need changes? Thx.

Curious to know if antlr also belongs in the "related work" segment of pfff wiki's main page? http://www.antlr.org/about.html
I see. I don't have much time those days so I have no idea when someone will implement this.
Regarding antlr no it's not really related to Pfff itself. Antlr is a compiler-compiler technology, like yacc. Pfff uses yacc but could use antlr to parse programming languages.
Thank you for reporting this issue and appreciate your patience. We've notified the core team for an update on this issue. We're looking for a response within the next 30 days or the issue may be closed.
Opening a bug as a request for someone to pick up Java 8 support for pfff.
