Andy Seaborne commented on JENA-714:
------------------------------------
We have not yet made a Java7 release, we're in transition. Despite very visibly
signalling the intention to drop Java6 support, ... well... , I'm not going to
be surprised if we get some users@ email. I don't think such messages will
necessary appear soon after 2.12.0; it's the more cautious tail upgrading after
time to see that a release was OK.
However, no one is offering to help out with Java6 and the developers are all
aware of the change (we had a vote).
The few Java7-isms are easily reversible as is unapplying the patch at the
moment. (I added the Java7 isms to get rid of Eclipse warnings - there weren't
very many nor were they complicated)
Either applying the patch, or soon after the first Java7 release (which is
going to be very soon), works for me. It is important to release next time
(2.12.0) with bytecode level set for Java7.

> The enclosed patch is a result of running a large number of automated
> language level upgrades available in intellij Idea (about 4000 individual
> items).
> As such, the patch contains no "manual" changes done by hand, and should be
> safe to apply, if somewhat large :)
