The Oracle javac team are part of the group that designs languages changes,
writes the language specification, and figure out the corner cases. They work
closely with the people working on libraries, and the VM. The Eclipse
compiler people are inherently going to have a problem keeping up.
I have read that the Eclipse support for Java 8 features was pretty
rushed, under-resourced, and barely done in time.
If I ran Eclipse, I'd drop the compiler, and use OpenJDK javac,
like NetBeans does. (Probably - there may be good reasons to keep ecj,
but I suspect the biggest one is the one-time switch-over hurdle.)
It wouldn't surprise me to see that happening.
