Java 7 goes EOL

[Niclas Hedhman <ni...@hedhman.org>]

Marcel highlighted on a separate list that public Java 7 support ceases
this Month. See
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/eol-135779.html#Java6-end-public-updates

The decision to head for Java 8 "soon" is a good one.

Fixed in 0a31fb8.
Was caused by usage of HashMap instead of LinkedHashMap in
CompositeMethodsModel, exhibited by changes in 8.

Develop on Java 8 is now all green^Wblue.

I just fixed 3 of them. The fix was trivial and changes are in tests
only: composite types should be public.

One failing test remains:

Indeed!
We should ensure 2.1 builds and runs flawlessly with Java 8 too.

Right now we have 4 tests failing in the develop branch when using Java 8:
