Adrian,

May I suggest to not implement it in the branches of the R11 and R12 releases? 
Java 7 came out in the second half of 2011, which is later than when we introduced the r11.x version, and only 9 months before we introduced the r12.x version.

The reason I am suggesting this is that probably most who have a r11 or r12 OFBiz setup will have the java 6 version. 
Of course, we don't have any hard data on this. But it is commonly known that
# people and businesses (especially those who have economical dependencies) are reluctant to something new as it will require change and implementing change costs
# changing a winning team introduces risks.

As we haven't released r13.x yet, fixing this for that release candidate would be appropriate. But a patch for the other releases would suffice. 
That way, users of r11 and r12 can decide for themselves if and when to apply it.

Regards,

Pierre

Further more it would lessen the burden of implementing it in the appropriate branches
