use the latest jacoco version to be compatible with Java 8

[jnizet]

Java 8 was released yesterday, and jacoco also released a new version which makes it compatible with Java 8. This pull request only updates the default tool version of jacoco.

Jacoco is the only reason holding us back from using Java 8.

many thanks for the pull request. I'll have a look on that. we're currently finalizing gradle 1.12 so I'm not sure this will make it into the 1.12 release already

@mattgruter If that's all what stoping you from using java8, you can always overwrite the jacoco version used with gradle:

jacoco {
    toolVersion = "0.7.0.201403182114"
}

[mattgruter]

@breskeby totally forgot about that. thanks for the tip!

Thanks for the contribution!

We actually did this as part of the 2.0 work.

@breskeby There is no s in toolsVersion. Took 1 hour to figure out simple error after copy/paste 👎

jacoco {
toolsVersion = "0.7.0.201403182114"
}

Which Gradle versions have new enough JaCoCo to work with Java 8?

[big-guy]

2.0 and newer use Jacoco version 0.7.1.201405082137 (0.7.0 was the first to support Java 8)
