Java 1.8 compiler compliance level missing when running Android Bundle / Eclipse Juno under Oracle JDK 8

I am using Android Bundle / Eclipse Juno under Oracle JDK 8 as default Java in my KDE Fedora 21 box. There is no Java 1.8 compiler compliance level in the settings. When I opened the Eclipse compiler compliance level it was set to 1.4 and it went up to 1.8. Is there something wrong here?

Eclipse juno does not magically support the Java 1.8 compiler because you are installing Java 8. Juno was released in June 2012, while Java 8 was released in March 2014 . The first version of eclipse with Java 8 support was Kepler (via post-release JDT update); Luna supports Java 8 out of the box.

In addition to what Elliot wrote in his answer , you won't be able to run Java 8 code on Android. Android platforms only support linguistic features prior to Java 7, and even then, support is pending.
