Description

When using Docker, we should test via oracle-jdk8 rather than oracle-jdk7. (We use Docker for our postcommit builds, for example). This will make sure that if incorrect javadoc is introduced by some change, we will notice and be able to correct it. Of course, we will continue to build targetting source-version jdk7, so there are no compatibility implications.
