The current code doesn't compile under Java 7, but Java 7 is also EOL.

That should not be the case. Can you provide the error messages or simply point to the place where Java 8 classes are used?

Java 8 is the way forward since there won't be any security fixes for
Java 7 anymore.

Yes, but maybe there're some distributions / organizations which still depend on Java 7 or 6. I don't want to raise the bar without good reason.
