Please provide any additional information below.

Using unmodified pom.xml for mqtt-spy-common results in an error on compilation:

[ERROR] 
/home/rathgeb/workspace/esh/mqtt-spy/mqtt-spy-common/src/main/java/pl/baczkowicz
/mqttspy/scripts/ScriptManager.java:[183,50] error: diamond operator is not 
supported in -source 1.5

So, we should set the source to 1.7 or 1.8.

mqtt-spy is using lambda expressions, so we need to that 1.8 for mqtt-spy.
Perhaps we should set this in every pom.
