It seems like the main driver for Java 7 is multicast UDP.

Can that be isolated in a few classes such that the rest of the code
works on Java 6?

So Java 7 would be required for building, but Java 6+ for running.
But it may be too complicated to do.

Not to mention that Java 6 is EOL since last year...

I really think we should ditch Java 6. It's dead, buried. Java 7 for the
masses !
