Cordova-Android 7.0: Upgrading Java Requirement to 7.0
Hey
I think we should accept this PR to attract newer developers. Sure, we
could adopt Java 8, but I think being stuck with Java 6 may be limiting
contributions. Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

As per: https://developer.android.com/guide/platform/j8-jack.html
We can keep the source and target versions set to 1.7 and still use the
subset of new Java 8 features if uses compile using JDK 8. Perhaps the
readme should be updated to require JDK 8?
