Go for it.

Should we raise the version of Java as well?


No.

That's completely different, as it affects end users directly.
The version of Java should only be increased if necessary to support
essential new features.
Otherwise it just prevents the code from running on some user systems
for no good reason.

For build tools like Apache Rat, I think that it's important to allow existing users to upgrade as easily as possible.
