Given that Java 6 is no longer supported (even Java 7 will not be supported after Spring 2015) and Hadoop 2.7+ is JDK7+, we should have Slider move to JDK7+.
This is a call to vote to have Slider move to JDK7+ after the upcoming 0.70 release. As 0.70 already has its release branch, we can have the develop branch moved to JDK7 as soon as the vote passes. The vote will be open for at least 72 hours. [ ] +1 approve [ ] -1 disapprove (and reason why) To start a +1 from me. Thanks Sumit
