Hi fellow devs, maybe I'm still misunderstanding the problem, but shouldn't we thank contributors instead of blaming them for our poor architecture and our ancient usage of JDKs?!

There are projects that want to use RAT+gradle ... since gradle is not as ancient it works with JDK7 only .... Why should we separate the gradle-plugin as a result? ANT, CLI and maven are not separated as well. I'm in favour of upgrading RAT as a whole instead of telling people to make new projects .... we are the maintainers of RAT and we want people to use it; thus we should make it easy for all the coming incubating projects to work with RAT instead of choosing one of the many working alternatives outside of the ASF world. If I'm still with JDK5 I wouldn't mind not being able to upgrade RAT or to use it with gradle - JDK9 is coming ..... Just my 2ct Phil
