Description

To build with Java 8 the taverna-language pom had to add the maven javadoc plugin with the param "-Xdoclint:none". This means that Java 7 cannot build unless you include -Dmaven.javadoc.skip=true. However, Java 7 is now end of life so we need to ensure all docs are updated to point out that Java 7 is not supported any more and to include the javadoc plugin in pom files if required.
