I am using Java 8 to build my application and planning to use JBoss EAP 7.1.0 for production deployment, but I am not getting which version of Wildfly ships with JBoss EAP 7.1.0. I find Wildfly core 3.0.1 but what is Wildfly core?
Also is it recomended to update the Java version of JBoss EAP 6.4 to Java 8 and use it?

Most of the times, however, you would like to use Management tools to check JBoss / WildFly version. The Server version can be see from the Management Major Version element. When using the Command Line Interface (CLI), you can retrieve the exact version through the product-info command.
JBoss EAP is just a commercial build of the Wildfly project. In many ways, especially from a source code perspective, JBoss and Wildfly are the same thing. “Wildfly is the upstream project JBoss EAP is built on,” said James Falkner, technical product manager for Red Hat Runtimes.
JBoss AS/WildFly is the name for the community project that you can test. This community project will eventually become JBoss EAP. "WildFly" is just the new name for "AS", which stood for Application Server.
There is an article that explains the mapping:

WildFly is not shipped with the EAP. WildFly is a community project and JBoss EAP is a Red Hat product. They live in separate repositories and even if they usually have some common point in history, you can't say WildFly is shipped with EAP. The closest WildFly version to EAP 7.1 is WildFly 11.
To simplify creating layered projects/products, the core runtime of the application server was cut to a separate project - the WildFly core. It contains just a very basic functionality which allow to build projects on top of it (by adding modules and extensions). The core contains
Java 8 is supported for JBoss EAP 6.4. For details look into the EAP 6 supported configurations.
