How to run STS on Java version 1.7

Question

I need to run eclipse (java 1.7) and STS 3.8.1 (java 1.8), but if I choose java 7 by default, I get an error in STS 3.8.1. I useOS : ubuntu 14.10

Error  : Version 1.7.0_80 of the JVM is not suitable for this product. Version: 1.8 or greater is required.

Or I choose java 1.8, because by default eclipse is not working fine.

My requirement is to create a project using java 1.7 with STS., and the latest version 3.8.1 does not support java 1.7.

and I try to search version of STS support 1.7, but I do not get a response.
