[Building Sakai] Requiring JDK 7 for building/running Sakai 11?

[Charles Severance]

I think that they *key* question is what we decide to focus our Sakai-10 QA efforts on (7 or 8).

I think that we should absolutely *not* try to go to J8 for S-10 QA.  In a sense since most of us have been coding and dev testing and running production of bits of trunk under J7 for over a year - it would be kind of risky to switch to J8 for S-10 QA and then recommend J8 for S-10 production.

Having S-11 will be on J8 is a great idea. We could switch all the trunk nightlys to J8 as soon as S-10 is out the door to hold out feet to the fire and than let folks use J8-isms which will force us all to develop and test in J8.

But I hope folks are not talking about J8 for S-10.
