Java 8

Hi,

Good news we can now compile trunk and all branches with Java 8 see https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-5835

BTW the EOL of Java 1.7 is near, so good timing to change our documentation.
I believe using Java 8 should not be a problem, more a good thing. But I must say here I still use Java 1.7, so need confirmation by the community.

Yes looking forward for streams, lambdas and more

So far, I have developed 1 app completely in Java 8 and converted our 
ADTransform product from Java 7 to Java 8.
I had no problems.

I am pretty sure that you will find it pretty painless.
I don't have any metrics on the performance improvement but it certainly 
seems as fast as Java 7 both in compiling and at run-time.

No strange run-time or compile issue and you have probably worked 
through all of the OFBiz upgrade issues now.

Good move to open the door to the use of streams and lambdas.
