 Description   

We need to discuss which JDK to use. Either JDK6 or JDK7 with JDK6-compatibility switch (since JDK7 compiled code is not backwards binary-compatible). Since we are not using any JDK7 language features yet, the JDK6 compilation should be sufficient.

steps

  • removed retrotranslator usage from build
  • removed Java4 libs from source tree
  • re-enabled tests which were ignored due to JDK1.4 usage on release build

I would start with JDK 6 in the first step. Switching to JDK 7 at a later point should not be a big issue then.

I agree with JDK 6 in the first step
