I think it's a really bad practice to have different modules in the same project with different language versions.

For GWT it seems to be required, but for the rest of the backend, I think we should have one patch that moves the entire project in one go.
We can have the various maintainers ack it to show their consent.

Shortly after merging that patch I'll merge another one to raise the
language level in the RESTAPI:

  restapi: Use Java 8 as source and target
  https://gerrit.ovirt.org/46288

Doing the same in other components is up to their maintainers. I think
that should be done everywhere, except where the use of GWT doesn't
allow to do it.
