You'll need to make sure that your JAVA_HOME is set appropriately to compile with Java 1.8, or you'll get a maven enforcer plugin error, since it may use 1.7 as the default when installed this way. But, I think the rest of it should work when tested locally.

In case it helps, Maven has a "toolchains" plugin that allows you
to declare in the POM which version of the JDK should be used to
compile.
Each developer box then has a ~/.m2/toolchains.xml file which
maps from JDK version to JAVA_HOME directory to use.
It is a little bit of a pain as each developer must then declare
all installed JDKs, but makes development much easier when multiple
projects and different JDK major versions are possibly involved.

Is this going to be a permanent switch? If so, I have a concern because the sources jar does not appear to contain the pom file for compilation. Typically the RPM code uses a source tarball as a starting point. Just curious if that's going to be hosted somewhere.

I found an abandoned java project where somebody tried RPM-ing maven, but they abandoned the project somewhere with maven 2.x, and personally I could not get it to build.

Note that I have seen that syntax under a "Requires" line (not BuildRequires) in a couple of spec files before, but they were in an ifdef block, so they may not have even been a valid syntax that was tested.

The changes allow for the proper generation of RPMS for RHEL6 / 7. Before I submit the changes to pgrpm, I was wondering if those changes are discussed in the community here, or if they're discussed solely with the team that works on the pgrpm repository?
