Thanks for looking at the issues.

Gerrit slows down all my workflows and
doesn't add any benefit, that's why I won't use Gerrit for normal work.
I already build and test locally, and I wouldn't ever trust e.g. an auto-rebase
done by Gerrit.

I changed the build configuration to use Java 8, and it
works better.
Not sure it's enough though, there are still tests failures whose cause
is still to find.

In general, I believe it's a pity that those job was broken for so long
with no-one worrying about it (including me).
Having continuous integration only shows some value if there is a general
motivation to keep the balls green. If they become red and are not fixed
immediatly, we loose the value of the builds until they get fixed + fixing
the build/test/code/whatever cause the failure becomes much more difficult
and time consuming.

Also, I would suggest that even people who are committer on the project
use Gerrit, and leverage this pre-merge validation. It will help to detect
issues early. in there context so we could fix them more easily.
