While setting up MacOS Travis CI tests, I encountered the following warning/error (From: https://travis-ci.com/github/simsong/bulk_extractor/jobs/348995196#L4280)

warning: [options] bootstrap class path not set in conjunction with -source 6
error: Source option 6 is no longer supported. Use 7 or later.
error: Target option 6 is no longer supported. Use 7 or later.
make[2]: *** [BEViewer.jar] Error 2
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make: *** [all] Error 2

A note at https://github.com/simsong/bulk_extractor/blob/master/java_gui/Makefile.am#L134 indicates to update to 1.7 or later.

Java 6 is end of life per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_version_history.

I opt to consider upgrading BEViewer.jar to Java 8 or 11 LTS
