Make the release jars 1.7 compatible. (For social, social-twitter, and social-facebook) There is no reason not to maintain Java 1.7 compatibility
Unfortunately, some cloud services (e.g. App Engine) still do not support 1.8.
The latest Spring Social jars still work with Spring 4.x. However, because the build.gradle target is 1.8 (not 1.7), they can not be used.
This is problematic because the last 1.7 social jar is using a Facebook version that will be deprecated soon.
If you build with a java 8 compiler, but target 1.7, you will still be able to support Spring Framework 4x and 5x.
Considering that Spring 5.x isn't even stable yet, it makes no sense to force an upgrade to java 1.8.
Please change build.gradle to target 1.7
