On the master branch we now build against the Neon version of Eclipse platform in order
to prepare shipment with the simultaneous release end of June.

Since the platform is now building their artefacts using Java 8 and packing them using Java 8's pack200 we now also have to run the JGit packaging build and the EGit build using Java 8 (Java 7's unpack200 can't unpack pack200 archives built using Java 8 :-(). Compiler source and target version are still set to Java 7 to ensure we can still run on Java 7.

For more details see [1].


looks like this introduced problems to run on Java 7, see https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=496262
