[forge-dev] JDK 8

[George Gastaldi]

Poll is over. We decided to have JDK 8 supported in Forge 3. I have already
started some work in https://github.com/forge/core/tree/3.x and should
release an Alpha version still this year.
We'll keep using JDK 7 for the 2.x branch. New Features will be introduced
in Forge 3.
