[Building Sakai] Java 1.6 for Sakai 2.7

[David Haines]

SAK-15874 is tracking switching Sakai to compile under Java 1.6 but  
reports little progress.  Since java 1.5 is EOL as of the end of this  
month it seems like it is necessary to do this for 2.7 and it's time  
to get cracking on it.

There is already some information about issues with switching the  
Jira, but the last update was in May.  Can everyone with additional  
information about issues or existing activity on moving to 1.6 update  
the Jira?

Getting this switch accomplished is, I think, a good test of the new  
approach to Sakai management and development.  If we can't get a  
successful project going to get this done I don't know if we could be  
confident about finishing any project.
