Make ant build with java 8 without warning and with versions 2.2.7+ of JAX see issue #24

Minimum requirements are java 5. I think java 8 works with that. Support as wide as possible

From Oracle's website : Updates for Java SE 7 released after April 2015, and updates for Java SE 6 released after April 2013 are only available to Oracle Customers Even Debian has Java 7 since Wheezy. While I'm OK supporting old architectures and I agree that Java 8 is a little overkill, I don't think support for Java 5 and 6 should be something to worry about in 2015. Do you mind if I try a new pull request with version 7 ?
