> If you change the build from JDK 7 compatible to straight JDK 8, the build fails due to ambiguous method calls.
> This is caused by improvements in JDK 8's Type Inference.
> See:
> 1 - https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java/generics/genTypeInference.html
> 2 - https://docs.oracle.com/javase/specs/jls/se7/html/jls-15.html#jls-15.12.2.5
> 3 - https://docs.oracle.com/javase/specs/jls/se8/html/jls-18.html#jls-18.5.1
> There are only 6 lines of code (at this time) in Geode that fail to build due to this. They are all calls to logger methods with (StringId, Object) parameters. Classes are:
> 1) FRAG2 (gemfire-jgroups) 
> 2) SMACK (gemfire-jgroups) 
> 3) UDP_NIO (gemfire-jgroups) 
> 4) VIEW_ENFORCER (gemfire-jgroups) 
> 5) JGroupMembershipManager (gemfire-core)
> Example from JGroups code:
> if(log.isInfoEnabled()) log.info(ExternalStrings.UDP_NIO_RECEIVED_CONFIG_EVENT__0, evt.getArg());
> This can be fixed simply by casting the 2nd argument to an Object:
> if(log.isInfoEnabled()) log.info(ExternalStrings.UDP_NIO_RECEIVED_CONFIG_EVENT__0, (Object)evt.getArg());
