Here are the steps to upgrade the existing Eclipse installation to work with newly released jdk 1.8.
Go to Help -> Install New Software. In the pop-up, in the "Work With" option, add : "http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/4.3-P-builds/". Then Accept the license agreement and install the update. Restart your eclipse workspace.
