I got a lot of pushback when I moved the required JDK in JGroups to 1.5 
(people were still using 1.4), and the same for moving from 1.5 to 1.6, 
so I anticipate this won't be different for moving to 1.7 as baseline.

I personally would not mind waiting for JGroups 5 to move to JDK 7, as 
this gives users a bit more time and I won't require JDK 7 before 
JGroups 5 anyway, as the NIO2 stuff won't be in JGroups 4, only in 5.

But if you guys need to move to JDK 7 in Infinispan 6 already, then 
that's fine with me, too.

I guess the AS has some requirements, too, so if they decide to move to 
JDK 7, then we'll have to make that move too
