Does EA9 support Java 8 ?

Does EA9's source code engineering import support Java 8? 

I wasn't able to quickly find this information on the website or help, only that Java 1.4 or greater is supported.  I searched the forums and found a similar post, but regarding PHP, where someone said that it was likely a bug.

I see this error that corresponds to the subsequent code.  The error disappears when the code is removed from the file.

"Unexpected Symbol: >"

    private final Function<ByteBuffer, String> f = bb -> {
       ...
    };

Java 8 was released on 18 March 2014.²
Java 8 support is listed in the release notes for version 13.³

No. EA 9 doesn't support Java 8.
