Java 8 compatibility

This is another last release supporting Java 8. Please note the following on used dependencies at the time of this release:

• Jetty 9 has gone EOL in January 2025 (after 19.02.2025) and will not receive any security updates anymore. It must be replaced with a successor version not compatible with Java 8.
• Apache Oltu is retired and contains vulnerabilties. It will be replaced in future releases with an alternative OAuth libary likely not compatible with Java 8.
• The packages org.eclipse.jdt.core, javax.json, commons-fileupload, com.googlecode.cqengine in their latest versions compatible with Java 8 expose vulnerabilities themselves or through dependencies. They will be upgraded in future releases.
