Description

Currently maven-enforcer-plugin is configured to restrict the java versions to 1.7 and 1.8. Unfortunately this does not allow to make use of the latest builds of java 1.8.0. For example, we won't be able to build drill on java version "1.8.0_25". While having the plugin gives us a lot of advantage in terms of ensuring we have the right platform setup before, we build the code on the machine; not including the latest builds of java for the already enabled java version 1.8, makes it too restrictive. This task is to relax it a bit to include all builds for java 1.8.0
