[jbosstools-dev] Java 8 experiement for JBoss Tools 4.3/Developer studio 9

[Nick Boldt]

Just FYI:

If you DO introduce a Bundle-RequireExecutionEnvironment of JavaSE-1.8 
into a plugin, please make sure you also update your Jenkins job 
accordingly.

---

(Lengthy explanation follows.)

If BREE = JavaeSE-1.8, then you can't compile it & successfully run 
tests with JDK 7.

Since Arquillian depends on Sapphire 9 [0], which requires JDK 8, now 
too Arquillian requires JDK 8 to build. Its jobs have been updated.

Note that anything that needs to INCLUDE these BREE=JavaSE-1.8 bundles 
must ALSO be built with JDK 8 or Tycho can't resolve the bundles at 
build time. I've updated the Arquillian, JBT aggregate, and JBDS jobs to 
use jdk1.8 instead of jdk1.7.

This commit [1] broke this build [2] but after updating the job config 
to use jdk1.8, it's back to blue [3].
