Christopher Tubbs created ACCUMULO-905:
------------------------------------------
Summary: Switch to Java 1.7
Key: ACCUMULO-905
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-905
Project: Accumulo
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Christopher Tubbs
Assignee: Christopher Tubbs
Fix For: 1.6.0
As 1.7 becomes the default Java in more and more operating systems, and
security-related bugfixes and other fixes in Java itself are targeted more
towards newer versions, rather than maintaining older versions, it would be
prudent to switch to using 1.7 as our target platform.
This change would allow us to leverage some of the newer features of Java.
This change can be established at the beginning of the development cycle for
Accumulo 1.6.0, so that we can immediately begin taking advantage of the new
Java features in 1.6.0 features after 1.5.0 is released.
