Kristian Rosenvold commented on JENA-714:
-----------------------------------------
I'm not arguing with your community decision, but once you set
<source>1.7</source> on the compiler plugin you tell all kinds of tooling to
allow 1.7 features.
As such, there are already a few try-with resource blocks in your code base,
which means you can no longer compile your current trunk with 1.6.
If you're serious about retaining 1.6 compatibility for any amount of time you
need to set <source>1.6</source> and keep 1.7 <target> in your pom.

> The enclosed patch is a result of running a large number of automated

> As such, the patch contains no "manual" changes done by hand, and should be
> safe to apply, if somewhat large :)
