Description

Commit 385e2e08ee94546aab5dbf3238766974d39b7411 in the previous release of Pluto (PLUTO-716 version 3.0.1) introduced the requirement to build and release with JDK 8/1.8 since Java 7/1.7 is no longer supported by Oracle.

This issue serves as a task for upgrading the Maven pom.xml descriptor to use 1.8 within the configuration of the maven-compiler-plugin in order to permit Java 8 syntax in the source such as lambdas:

pom.xml

<plugin>
  <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
  <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
  <version>3.1</version>
  <configuration>
    <source>1.8</source>
    <target>1.8</target>
  </configuration>
</plugin>
