Looking at Liferay's 6.2 Compatibility Matrix, it looks like Tomcat 8 is a supported EE configuration when patched to SP15+.

I'd imagine that using a Tomcat 8 server with Liferay would be simpler in their studio than with basic Eclipse, and could probably be accomplished by:

  1. Setting up a manual installation on an existing Tomcat 8 server (that you've configured) using the Liferay .war (detailed steps can be found here)
  2. Creating a new Liferay Workspace in Dev Studio, but deselect the "Download Liferay bundle" checkbox when creating the workspace, and configure the workspace’s gradle.properties file to point to the pre-existing bundle by setting the liferay.workspace.home.dir property.

Alternatively, you could set up Liferay's Plugins SDK to be used with your Liferay version/application server of choice.

If you already have existing projects in Eclipse, though, you could probably modify the steps in this article to use a 6.2 Liferay .war with Tomcat 8 in Eclipse.
