[DISCUSS] Drop Java 6 support in trunk

Hi all,
this morning I was about to upgrade some dependencies in the trunk 
(mainly due to the fresh release of CXF 3.0.0): while many of them were 
upgraded. I had to give up with Commons DBCP since their latest stable 
release 2.0 requires Java 7 [1].

Now, since support for Java 6 was dropped a long while ago [1], and 
since I can see many other ASF projects setting Java 7 as their minimum 
requirement (besides Commons DBCP 2.0, also Tomcat >= 8.0, Wicket 7, CXF 
is discussing about this step [3]), I would like to propose to switch to 
Java 7 as minimum requirement for the trunk.

WDYT?

Regards.

Hi Colm,
no, I don't see any compelling reason to make the switch in Syncope 1.2: 
doing it for Syncope 1.3 sounds reasonable anyway.

Maybe this could also help finalizing 1.2.0 as soon as possible and then 
start working on 1.3 - which should also bring strong new features as 
Camel [1].

Shall I file an issue to be fixed in 1.3.0 for Java 7?

Regards.

I would prefer to keep Java 6 compatibility with Syncope 1.2 and then drop
it for Syncope 1.3. Given that this aligns with the probably versions of
CXF in both releases, it seems to make sense. Or are there any really
pressing reasons to drop compability for Syncope 1.2?

Colm.

The only comment about CXF 3.0.0, Dan is planning to branch it out for 
Java 6 customers be able to switch to 3.0.0 from 2.7.x, CXF 
3.1.0-SNAPSHOT will be indeed Java 7 based. It is probably not going to 
affect Syncope, but mentioning it just in case
