Description
We should compile at least against JDK7 for various reasons:
- JDK6 is quite old now and end-of-life (actually, even JDK7 is)
- some of the SSL tests do not work with JDK6 since it does not support all ciphers
- MINA 2.0.15 is compiled against JDK7
- some smaller improvements in the code could be made (multi-catch, diamond operator, ...)
Since there only is a 1.7.0-SNAPSHOT release now (i.e. no released version), we can simply compile against JDK8 there.
