Given that I've just released 0.44.1, now seems like a good time to update the minimum version. I intend to update it to Java 7 going forward. Java 8 has been out for some time now so it seems reasonable to drop support for 6. It will allow use of new features such as try-with-resources which is very useful for an app working with database connections, sockets and files.
I've been playing with a separate Java 7 branch for a while and will probably merge it in over the next few days. It was very satisfying being able to delete a large number of convoluted catch blocks. https://github.com/brettch/osmosis/tree/autoclose
