Why is 1.8 missing from RAD's Java project facet drop-down?

Question

This is an issue with a runtime of type WebSphere Portal v8.5.

Note the runtime composition, which includes "Java Runtime Environment v1.7".

From HCL Portal's point of view,

Just check the feature pack (FP) updates to WebSphere 8.5. I believe one of the FP is required to get the Java 1.8.
