If a package does not build with Java 8 this does not mean that we
cannot use the latest JDK to build it.  For those packages we might have
to patch the build.xml to ensure that the JDK considers the source to be
of a different version.

javac supports the =E2=80=9C-target=E2=80=9D and =E2=80=9C-source=E2=80=9D =
options.  This might be
helpful in situations like this.
