Upgraded versions for various plugins.

[archenroot]

I upgraded few plugins and mostly:

 <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
149         <version>3.12.1</version>
150         <configuration>
151           <source>1.8</source>
152           <target>1.8</target>

as it was failing on my system to build with 1.7 values:

DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=22.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=jammy
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS"
java 21.0.1 2023-10-17
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment Oracle GraalVM 21.0.1+12.1 (build 21.0.1+12-jvmci-23.1-b19)

Could you do the same for https://github.com/bytedeco/javacv/ and https://github.com/bytedeco/javacpp-presets?

[archenroot]

I was looking into javacv repo, but build fails on bytedeco/javacv#2157

I will look into javacpp-presets as well.

[archenroot]

I did the version bump for javacv: bytedeco/javacv#2159. Going to look at javacpp-presets.

[archenroot]

I reverted back the 1.8 to 1.7

Please also update the dependencies in src/it/osgi/pom.xml, src/it/osgi/test.bndrun, platform/pom.xml and https://github.com/bytedeco/javacv/blob/master/platform/pom.xml and https://github.com/bytedeco/javacpp-presets/blob/master/platform/pom.xml as well

@archenroot could you provide more information about the issue with groovy compatibility? by this point Java 1.7 is so old that Maven fails to build javacpp:

[INFO] -------------------------------------------------------------
[ERROR] COMPILATION ERROR :
[INFO] -------------------------------------------------------------
[ERROR] Source option 7 is no longer supported. Use 8 or later.
[ERROR] Target option 7 is no longer supported. Use 8 or later.
[INFO] 2 errors
[INFO] -------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] BUILD FAILURE
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------

I had to manually patch the repo in order to get it to build. Would it be possible to add a flag such that 1.8 was the default version, but 1.7 (or an alternative version) could be used for compatibility?

[saudet]

We could make it 1.8 when we detect a new version of the JDK that doesn't support 1.7. Please open a pull request!

The issue is with JavaCPP Gradle plugin only. See bytedeco/javacpp-presets#1453 (comment).
