Upgrade build to JDK 1.8 bytecode #410

Closed tumbarumba closed 4 months ago

tumbarumba commented 4 months ago

The JavaHamcrest build is currently running on an unsupported version of Gradle (4.10) against an unsupported build target (JRE 1.7 bytecode).

We should:

Upgrade to the latest Gradle (version 8.8 as of this issue)
- This will require we migrate to the bnd OSGI bundling plugin
Change the bytecode target from 1.7 to 1.8

I was a bit trigger happy in creating this new issue, as there are already existing issues (see #206, #207, and #331). I'll work against those issues instead
