> In the pom.xml I find dependencies that are very old to avoid requiring Java *1.6* or later. However I also see commons-io 2.8.0 that requires Java *1.8* or later. Make a clear decision on the minimum version of Java and upgrade or downgrade dependencies accordingly. 
> FYI Apache Maven requires Java 1.7 so I'd prefer not to go higher than that.
