> java6 is really old and java7 is already EOD for 2yrs. It is time to move to java8 in the next major release (1.9.0):
> * update source/target to 1.8.0 in the pom.xml
> * update the Dockerfile to used jdk8
> * ensure that lang/java builds fine with jdk8
> * ensure that all unit tests pass in lang/java with jdk8
> * ensure that everything builds fine and tests pass by using the new docker image
