We could also just remove the test for now, if the only goal is to make it compile for both. But knock yourself out.

Well, at some stage we need a plan either way. we will need to start supporting Java 8 features (Optional comes to mind here). As I said before, I see one of the main goals of HV 5.2 the integration with Java 8. I was thinking about addressing this particular issue as part of the overall strategy.

Yes, sure, it would be very nice to actually make use of the Java 8 features. Not sure though when we'll come to it. Making the project build out of the box on 7 and 8 seems like a reasonable first step to me. Besides HV-871, we'd need to fix the JavaDoc issues reported by DocLint and possibly update AnimalSniffer. Once that's done we can dive into actually making use of the new possibilities.
