Sure, for a separate component such as the server, Java 7 is a reasonable requirement. There are no existing users anyway, and a Java-7-compatible environment is not too much to ask for a new piece of software.

Seems sensible, though I hope I can still use Java 7 for the server. The IDE usage arguments don't apply to that scenarion, and having to implement the filesystem interfaces (especially IPath) without java.nio.files would be a needlessly big pain.
