Eclipse - Installing a new JRE (Java SE 8 1.8.0)

Question

I am trying to install Java 8.

What I have done so far:

• installed the latest version of Eclipse
• downloaded and installed Java SE Runtime Environment 8 http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jre8-downloads-2133155.html
• tried to follow this -> upgrade eclipse to java 8 without a happy ending

The error I get as soon as I create the project:

Unbound classpath container: 'JRE System Library [JavaSE-1.8]' in project 'JackTest' Build Path Problem

Any idea? Can someone tell me what to do step by step?
