[infinispan-dev] Baselining on Java 7

[Sanne Grinovero]

WildFly already requires Java7.

Hibernate Search will likely stay a bit longer on 6, and depends on
Infinispan, but this dependency is an isolated module so we can live
with it by making our build a bit more painful. Users would then need
Java7 only if they want to use the Infinispan extensions.
