The pmd-java8 POM bears the wrong parent module version

The pmd-java8 POM bears the wrong parent module version.
In branch 5.3.x and master and also in the 5.3.0 tag the pmd-java8 POM has 5.3.0-SNAPSHOT as version of the parent POM.
This makes maven fail.
The maven-release-plugin seems to not update this version alongside the other submodule versions.
As far as I have seen this is because the module is only included if you build with jdk8 and you probably call the maven-release-plugin with java7.
This is fixed in pmd/5.3.x and master:
