Support for Java 8

[edagan]

git-hook.jar run fails when using Java 1.8u45 (Illegal argument exception).
Collector still untested.

Hi,

Does this mean that there is not support for Java 8 currently?

Thanks.

@aleitamar - That is right, care to add the support?
Nevertheless, if you have JAVA7 installed, you can use it specifically for running the hook.
Let me know if you need any help in that.

@soninob FYI
Recently i setup verigreen dev env locally on my windows machine.
To bypass this issue and use java 1.8 i did the following:

1. changed spring version to 4.3.21.RELEASE both in the root pom.xml and in the vg-common pom.xml.
2. removed maven-javadoc-plugin from jenkins-client pom.xml

i did not test it in production (linux docker container) yet, but locally both the hook and the collector run successfully.

That is great! I will check it soon!
Thanks alot
