Hi Jakub, Thanks for pointing out the versioned dependency. I think the way you have it setup now is preferable to what I was proposing. I did go ahead and bump the versioned dep on default-jdk to (>= 2:1.7), as this will prevent answer the "what's the minimum JDK?" question explicitly for any back-porters. Let me know if you disagree and I'll upload again. Cheers, tony
