I like the idea of moving to 1.7 - only concern is compatibility for existing users. I would propose that if no one objects due to compatibility or other concerns within the next 2 weeks, we go ahead and upgrade to 1.7.

I would argue it makes more sense to do it sooner rather than later, when the update has increased.

I was wondering if we could consider updating to Java 1.7 - Oracle officially dropped support for Java 1.6 a long time ago, and is actually in the process of dropping support for Java 1.7. I figure asking users to upgrade their applications which use the library to Java 1.7 at this point isn't unreasonable. Does anyone have any thoughts or objections? If not I can put together a pull request to make this adjustment.
