Description

I was looking at the build logs the other day for Avatica and noticed the following:

[INFO] --- forbiddenapis:2.6:testCheck (default) @ avatica-core ---
[INFO] Scanning for classes to check...
[INFO] Reading bundled API signatures: jdk-unsafe-1.7
[INFO] Reading bundled API signatures: jdk-deprecated-1.7

The 1.7 being the JDK version that forbiddenapis is picking up for the signatures. I double checked that we were setting the compiler to use JDK 8 and moved on.

Today I was looking at the ASF POM for a different project and noticed:

<maven.compiler.source>1.7</maven.compiler.source>
<maven.compiler.target>1.7</maven.compiler.target>

I double checked the forbiddenapis docs and those two properties are used to determine the correct signatures.

This Jira is to override the base ASF POM properties in the top level pom to be the following:

<maven.compiler.source>8</maven.compiler.source>
<maven.compiler.target>8</maven.compiler.target>

After making that change locally I can see forbiddenapis picking up the correct signatures.
