Gradle 3 is the only reason to even make the switch from JDK6 to JDK8. I
imagine if we would not want to use Gradle3 we would still switch to
JDK8 or newer in Groovy 3, but stay with JDK6 otherwise.
actually maybe there has been a misunderstanding.. if we want to use
JDK7 to build but still target JDK6 as target bytecode level I am for it
actually.
The Groovy 3 story would be different though. Here we would produce JDK8
bytecode and use JDK8 source code features
