yes, this was one of the things we had to change for 4.x.

To my knowledge there is no possible work-around or fix for the 3.x
branch and projects using java 8 will have to switch to collections 4.x.

I guess it is safe to remove collections 3.x from the gump build as any
development activity has ceased for a long time now.
