I am unsure where to request Java 8 builds for the selenium jenkins plugin, so I'll ask here.
The selenium jenkins plugin needs Java 8 because selenium itself needs java 8 and the plugin has a dependency on the selenium package.

I reconfigured https://jenkins.ci.cloudbees.com/job/plugins/job/selenium-plugin/ to use Java 8
The best solution for you will be to switch to ci.jenkins.io and then you'll be free to use "everything" you want using a Jenkinsfile
Don't forget to add a warning in your changelog about the Java 8 requirement, this will be the only way for Java 7 users to see it (the new plugin built for J8 just won't load on a J7 running instance)

Is there any documentation on the change to ci.jenkins.io? The only thing I can find right now is this thread: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/jenkinsci-dev/439-IDYNSVY about a trial on using ci.jenkins.io to figure out what's required for moving to azure.

I don't know if we have more details for now than what we have in the thread you mentioned

Thank you! Looks good. Especially the blogpost at the bottom of that page about the Microsoft partnership was enlightening.
