Hi, While trying to fix the ITs which fail only on Java 7 I remembered that the latest release of the Sling application only works on Java 5 and 6.
While for me as a contributor it's just a bit inconvenient, for users it may be unpleasant to download it and find out that it's not working and possibly give up. I remember a few queries on the users list related to that. I suggest that we release a Java 7-compatible and - as much as possible - Java 8-friendly version of Sling. However I have no idea what needs to be done :-) Robert
