Hi,

Royale is currently using Google Closure Compiler from June 2017.  There is a 
bug in that version and even the latest Closure Compiler that is blocking 
release-mode module loading.  Google appears to be willing to fix the bug, so 
that got me started on upgrading the Closure Compiler we bundle to the latest 
release so we can quickly test out any fix for the module issue.  Historically, 
when we upgrade Closure Compiler, there are changes we need to make in our code 
to get Royale to work again, and it is definitely true this time.  However, it 
appears that Closure Compiler is now dependent on a version of Guava that 
requires Java 8.  We currently allow Java 7 for Royale.  Any objections to 
dropping Java 7?  There are hacks to upgrade Flash Builder to run on Java 8, so 
that shouldn't be an issue.

Thoughts?
-Alex
