[compress] Update to Java 7?
Hi,
I was looking at some compress code that I wanted to update to
switch-on-string but realized the code is still on Java 6.
OK to bump to Java 7?
Gary

I'd rather bump to Java 7 if you intend to leverage the Java 7 APIs, and
no just benefiting from the minor syntax changes.

I updated the POM to Java 7 in Git master.

I don't think we should need that strong arguments to go to Java 7.
Remember being "stuck in the past" with older syntax also puts off
potential new contributors and eventually causes code rot. E.g.
Commons Compress is very InputStream-centric, and so a
try-with-resources could be quite good to simplify the code - arguably
mainly the tests.
Being able to upgrade ZipFile to support SeekableByteChannel and
java.nio.file.Path sounds like a good motivation to me.
We should still be more careful about upgrading to Java 8, but I think
Java 7 should be the expected minimum.

"still" means 1.12 has been the first release to require Java 6 - 1.11
was at Java 5 :-)

If it is useful for us, yes.
try-with-resources is nice but wouldn't convince me. SeekableByteChannel
to make ZipFile and SevenZFile usable for non-Files would.
