That's why I think it shouldn't be committed. The Java baseline in OpenOffice
is still 1.5 (both source and target) and there are no plans to change this, so
a proper fix would be making the code compile with JDK7 while generating
binaries that run in 1.5.

I've raised this concern several times (for example
http://markmail.org/message/imckfah34tsfhfrs ) but people seems to
misunderstand it, and still talk about "dropping java6" (whatever that could
mean).
