MC wrappers use Java 6 language level

[SoniEx2]

The MC wrappers appear to use Java 6 language level in IDEA.

(This may be related to what's causing the build to fail...)

I can confirm that it also happens in NetBeans.

This can be fixed by setting the language level after applying the Forge plugin. There doesn't seem to be a way to keep ForgeGradle from changing the language level.

I know about that.
Still, it’s annoying to have to keep changing it back to 1.8.
It’s almost like Forge doesn’t want mods to use Java 8. And they make use of Predicates and many of the shiny new toys introduced in Java 8, minus lambdas and method references.
