RATIS-2362. Use maven.compiler.release for target Java version (#74)
All bundled thirdparty dependencies are centralized in the ratis-thirdparty module. These modules are located in a separated repository (https://github.com/apache/ratis-thirdparty) but not attached to the core Apache Ratis repository (https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf?p=ratis.git) as they only need to change when one of these dependencies are changed.
