Answer 1

You have a dependency, unclear which, that is compiled for Java 8 and you have specified Java 7 in your build.

The error message This is caused by library dependencies that have been compiled using Java 8 or above. is they key here.

My approach would be to change the Java version to 8. If that didn't do the trick, reduce the problem. That is, start with a new project without dependencies, and code, and add very small parts until I found what caused to error above.

That is, apply Galls Law:

"A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked. A complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be patched up to make it work. You have to start over with a working simple system. – John Gall (1975, p.71)"
