Description Alexander Nyßen

We should adopt the GEF4 code base to Java 8 after the Neon release, dropping support for Java 7 (and removing all workarounds introduced to compensate JavaFX 2.2 problems).

I pushed the following changes to origin/master:

 - Removed JavaSE-1.7 support from build files.
 - Removed deprecated methods.
 - Removed code just needed for JavaSE-1.7 compatibility.
 - Increased BREE from JavaSE-1.7 to JavaSE-1.8.
 - Changed JDT preferences to point to JavaSE-1.8.

Resolving this as fixed for 5.0.0 M1.
