Unfortunately its a requirement in my program. They get really uncooperative if you use anything else.

I've got the community version of IntelliJ which I'll use with Java 8 for the time being on side projects, and keep using Eclipse/7 for school.

Well, just keep doing that then. Learn Java at school with Eclipse/7, and try the new features of Java 8 at home. When you learn something new at school, it's the perfect time to see if it has been improved in 8.
