I would prefer to keep Java 6 compatibility with Syncope 1.2 and then drop

CXF in both releases, it seems to make sense. Or are there any really
pressing reasons to drop compability for Syncope 1.2?
Hi Colm,
no, I don't see any compelling reason to make the switch in Syncope 1.2:
doing it for Syncope 1.3 sounds reasonable anyway.
Maybe this could also help finalizing 1.2.0 as soon as possible and then
start working on 1.3 - which should also bring strong new features as
Camel [1].
Shall I file an issue to be fixed in 1.3.0 for Java 7?
Regards.

Hi all,
this morning I was about to upgrade some dependencies in the trunk
(mainly due to the fresh release of CXF 3.0.0): while many of them were
upgraded. I had to give up with Commons DBCP since their latest stable
release 2.0 requires Java 7 [1].
Now, since support for Java 6 was dropped a long while ago [1], and
since I can see many other ASF projects setting Java 7 as their minimum
requirement (besides Commons DBCP 2.0, also Tomcat >= 8.0, Wicket 7, CXF
is discussing about this step [3]), I would like to propose to switch to
Java 7 as minimum requirement for the trunk.
The only comment about CXF 3.0.0, Dan is planning to branch it out for
Java 6 customers be able to switch to 3.0.0 from 2.7.x, CXF 3.1.0-SNAPSHOT
will be indeed Java 7 based. It is probably not going to affect Syncope,
but mentioning it just in case
Cheers, Sergey
WDYT?
