[DISCUSS] Airavata default support to Java 8

Hi All,

Oracle ends pubic support releases of Java 7 after April 2015 (next month) [1] [2]. Within Airavata we still have requirements for Java 6. How about we move on to Java 8 and make it the minimum required version? 

Please discuss.

Sorry this is not phrased correctly. I do not mean any java 6 specific requirements. This is in reference to current maven configuration - https://github.com/apache/airavata/blob/master/pom.xml#L491-494 <https://github.com/apache/airavata/blob/master/pom.xml#L491-494>
