 project in itself, I just wanted to fix the most obvious shortcomings.
 Looking at it this way the current branch is fine now.

 Good idea and the versions look ok.

 metrics-lib, or does that not really matter?

 Whatever depends on metrics-lib needs to upgrade before using a metrics-
 lib java 8 version.
 Thus, if there are other important changes we're forced to upgrade or
 back-port changes.
 First upgrading the depending projects is less pressure as those could
 safely use metrics-lib from java 7.
