Hi there,

we just has a mishap over in Oak with respect to code using Java runtime 
methods it wasn't supposed to use (JDK7), and concluded that we want to 
check that at build time.

Marcel added build checks using the animal-sniffer plugin (see OAK-4791).

I'd like to do the equivalent for Jackrabbit, checking for JDK6 
compliance in all branches for now. See 
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-4025 - feedback appreciated.

Best regards, Julian

PS: we can discuss *which* JDK to require separately afterwards.
