Jclouds builds on java 7, and tries to keep runtime compatibility with java 6 (via the animal sniffer plugin). We still don't use java 8, so I agree this shouldn't block the release, although we should track it in a JIRA.
More live test results: google-compute-engine: Tests run: 153, Failures: 1, Errors: 0, Skipped: 5 The failed test seems to be a transient failure due to a timeout: testOptionToNotBlock(org.jclouds.googlecomputeengine.compute.GoogleComputeEngineServiceLiveTest) Time elapsed: 229.849 sec <<< FAILURE! java.lang.AssertionError: duration(50) longer than expected(30) seconds!
