When using Java 7, any attempt at parsing the build.gradle would throw an Unsupported major.minor version 52.0

Forcing my dev environment to J8 permits parsing, and expected functionality:

Is this expected? I would love to be able to keep J7, but still make use of the plugins block if at all possible. I’m not able to bump up my JDK on all development machines.

After some discussion in IRC, it sounds like this could be the problem of the pluggin. It claims to be compiled under J7, but it would seem that this is not the case. Moving issue back to the developer of the pluggin.
