Hi Afif, For the past year or so we have had no dedicated software developer for Artemis. We hope to fill this position in the new year however there is a very long backlog of feature requests and bugs to get through. We would welcome any pull requests on GitHub which allow for Java 8 support. Regards, Andrew Page
