Folks, Is there any objection to bumping the minimum Java version to 7 ? I'm not aware of anyone with a hard dependency on Java 6. Although it has been sunsetted, it is still supported in production so I'll withdraw the suggestion if anyone needs it. However working on TypeCoercion of string to date [1] I made heavy use of named-groups in regexes only to discover this is a 7-only feature. It wouldn't be too hard to add jregex (or make flexible date-parsing a 7-only feature) but if no one needs Java 6 this feels like a good enough reason to change. (We'll need to update Jenkins to use Java 7 to build.) Best Alex [1] https://github.com/apache/incubator-brooklyn/pull/682
