KJ, I'm also new (again) to this, I guess some sort of new years resolution to pick back up projects I started then didn't really finish.
For what it is worth, I used java 6 without a problem on the latest "tip" from the repo. Even though your eclipse is "using" Java7, you can add java6 to your system, then configure it as an alternate jdk in eclipse. Then, you can make THIS project use Java 6 for both compile and runtime. All of the errors I see, look like simple differences between Java 6 and Java 7, many would be expected. I really would run what everyone else tests with, unless you have specific reasons for Java 7. I recently used the following without any problems: IDEA IntelliJ, OSX Mountain Lion, Java 6 (Hotspot), Heap mem 2G w/ aggressive flag.
