Hi Eugene,
I'm taking the build update: Maven/Gradle with enforcer + merge of the examples
all together.

The vote on user@ about switching to Java 8 has concluded, affirmatively.
What needs to be done to complete the switch? I can see at least the following:
- Change maven and gradle scripts to use 1.8 source and target version
- Fix resulting compilation/test errors (Java8 has slightly different type
checking, more minor issues may arise)
- Remove all special-casing of java8 in build scripts
- Merge all modules like "java8 examples" and "java8 tests" into respective
non-"java8" modules
- Organize an effort to modernize code to use Java 8 constructs where
appropriate. Especially important to modernize examples. To a large extent this
can probably be automated with an IDE.
Anything else?
