Jenkins is building with JAva 7 and 8. all that's needed is to turn off the Java 7 build, which I will happily do. The POM can be changed to set the minimum JVM version -though that's most likely to be visible to people building locally, as you'll need to make sure that you have access to java 7 and java 8 JVMs if you want to build and test for both. Jenkins-wise, the big issue is one I've mentioned before: the builds are failing an not enough people are caring https://builds.apache.org/view/H-L/view/Hadoop/job/Hadoop-Hdfs-trunk-Java8/488/ Please, lets fix this
