The discussion on java support level caused me to check the poms to see if there's a compat level set when compiling our source code. This used to be in ant but looks to be lost in maven. I propose that we add the following lines to our maven configuration. This basically says that even the source is 1.7 jdk it should work with 1.6 jre. With this we will have a level of guarantee that the binaries are compatible with jre 1.6 and on. This is a direct result on the discussion on when to eol for java6.
