Error building library using Retrolamda Java 8?

Question

Java

I am trying to upload a library to Bintray. When compiling, it gives the following error. Here are the logs:

Incremental java compilation is an incubating feature.

And here's more:

Jack is required to support java 8 language features.

The error is related to Retrolambda for some reason even though I don't use it in the project. Retrolamda is used in a separate module with an example of using the library.
