On the 5.0.x branch, we want to continue to support Java 5 and 6, as the
other 5.0.x releases do.  So that means leaving things as they are.
(Scala 2.10 doesn't work on Java 5.)

On the master branch (which may eventually become NetLogo 5.1 or 6.0),
we already upgraded to Java 6 and Scala 2.10 some time ago.  It's
unclear whether it's desirable to move this branch to Java 7 yet.  The
GUI would need to be QA'ed for regressions on all three major platforms,
and the move would mean dropping support for some older Macs.  See
https://github.com/NetLogo/NetLogo/issues/197 for some further details
and discussion.  A nice benefit of moving to Java 7 is that we could
offer NetLogo on the App Store, but doing so would involve substantial
work; see https://github.com/NetLogo/NetLogo/issues/198 .

On the headless branch, which is the branch used by Tortoise and
Teletortoise, we're already on Java 7 and Scala 2.10, and we plan to
move to 2.11 soon.  (There is already a `scala-2.11` branch that already
has the necessary changes.)

Summary: we appreciate the offer, but we're already where we need to be
on this.
