We have several issues with Java 8. They are mostly with using DIH handler, since we use the script Nashorn, and it was originally Rhino.
When using Regex, we needed to escape "\\|" in Rhino and in Nashorn we need to use only 1 escape "\|". Several other issues since methods on Java String appear to call the Nashorn String functions (like MyString.split('\\|')).... Be careful and test it.
