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

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.
