Apparently, the error_prone module does change behavior depending on what's in the classpath (if the javac8 jar is there, I suspect the class construction to fail, falling back to javac7), so how about shading everything in a single jar? If I made a wrong assumption, then how about making it true, loading the appropriate class depending on the current JVM version?

Right now we have a build for javac 8 but are missing two important items needed for full support:
1) Our Jenkins continuous build does not run Java 8 yet, only 6 and 7.
2) We don't yet distribute the error-prone 8 jars to Sonatype. We probably want to distribute two sets of jars, one for versions 6 and 7, and one for 8. It would be nice if Maven could figure out which dependency to use based on the version of javac installed.
