What's it all about, Alfie?

It had to happen... JDK 7 is end-of-life by Oracle, and while I imagine that this is not what is really going to happen to all the JDK 7 code out in the wild, it's enough of a pressure that it's time to move off it and onto JDK 8 for real.

I've got a nice switcher tool for the active version of the JDK for each shell, and I just switched it to 1.8, and restarted the REPL and web server to pick up the changes. It's not a ton of work, but it needed to be done, and I need to stay on JDK 8 moving forward.

It's funny... in writing this post, I realized that I can remember when JDK 1.5 was "new" and untested... and 1.6... and 1.7... it's just how things go. Marching onward.
