Drop support for Java 1.6 #101

Description

@marek-parfianowicz

Language level and runtime.

Currently we must compile using 1.6 source level. It it problematic as e.g. JUnit5 requires Java 8. Drop it as Java 1.6 usage is marginal. Tasks:

  • bump source/target levels to 1.7 (ant / maven / gradle)
  • update developer guides on the website (java 7/8 required)
  • update dev guide about recommended maven (we can use 3.6.3 now - previously recommended was 3.2.5 due to compatibility with java 6)
  • get rid of the java_rt-1.6.jar from the build
