Fore.com IDE and Java 8 not showing fields in eclipse

Anyone else having issues with the force.com ide and java 8? I can't seem to get the fields for both standard and custom objects to be selectable.

Same problem here, affects all childs on Custom and Standard Objects (Fields, Recordtypes, Validation Rules, etc), but curiously not Workflows.

The only way I've found to workaround the problem is to force Eclipse to use Java7 JRE to start (as well as to disable TLS 1.0), then everything is back to normal. 

However this issue makes it not possible to use newer Eclipse Neon 4.6 if you must create granular projects with just some elements of a given Object, not the whole object.

Anyone knows of a way to make Force.com IDE fully work with Java8?
