[mkgmap-dev] Move to Java 1.8

Mon Aug 1 11:19:09 BST 2016

Hi Gerd

> I think there is no reason to wait, so go ahead.

OK thats changed so any new build of mkgmap/splitter will be built
with java 8.  I will remove the "1.7" lines in the build.xml and
commit to create the first java 8 build.

> Not sure what to do with the libraries, I noticed that fastutil was changed

Are you looking to use 7.0.x of fastutil? If so I will build a trimmed jar
of it.
