Bug 1363: Java 11: Initial Host/Target Compiler Selection: Java8

Current requirements are:
  - Java 1.8 (Level 8.0)
  - Android SDK API level 24 (Version 7.0 Nougat, released August 2016)

Official production builds are performed w/ Java 1.8.
  - Java 1.8 (Level 8.0)
  - Android SDK API level 24 (Version 7.0 Nougat, released August 2016)

  Android 7 API level 24 supports Java 1.8,
  see https://developer.android.com/studio/write/java8-support

  Java 8 is chosen today, June 2019, since OpenJDK 1.8 is well supported
  on desktop, mobile support is given w/ OpenJDK 9 and
  Android also support these language features for almost 3 years.

++++

Current patch does require one to set the target.sourcelevel,
target.targetlevel and target.rt.jar properties or their equivalent
capital case environment variables.

Only allowed value is currently 1.8.

+What kind of open-source project is Android?
+
+Google oversees the development of the core Android open-source platform, and works to create robust developer and user communities. For the most part the Android source code is licensed under the permissive Apache Software License 2.0, rather than a "copyleft" license. The main reason for this is because our most important goal is widespread adoption of the software, and we believe that the ASL2.0 license best achieves that goal.
