Description

ECJ support for Java < 8 is being terminated: see
eclipse-jdt/eclipse.jdt.core#2536

EMF is being updated:
eclipse-emf/org.eclipse.emf@932bf62

Any ongoing reference to Java < 8 is therefore likely to cause build fails (or
fails for generated code tests).

MoDisco is already using BREE 8.

(In reply to Ed Willink from comment #1)

MoDisco is already using BREE 8.

But the .settings/org.eclipse.jdt.core.prefs make prolific use of 1.5

And org.eclipse.modisco.java.discoverer.tests uses 1.6.

Once all 5's and 6's changed to 8 we're good.

Pushed to master for 1.5.5M2
