I am developing an eclipse RCP application with Eclipse Juno (4.2.2) that comes with Jetty 8.1.3. I have bundled the product with Java SDK 1.8. The RCP application runs fine but Help -> Help Contents gives below error. (Note that this works fine if I try with java 1.7)
Does Jetty 8.x works with Java 8? If yes, could you please provide instructions on how to make it work with Java SDK 1.8?
HTTP ERROR: 500

Thanks in advance.
No. You need Java 1.6 for Jetty8.
If you want to use Java 1.8, you need to upgrade to Jetty9.3 or higher.
