[Daniel Passos]

I don’t see any problem for use 1.6 or 1.7

Karel brought up the fact that the Android project relies on classes  
from Java 7. I would like for the Android project to compile using JDK  
6, but I was wondering what the rest of the project thought.  

For a little back story, until recently the dexer (Android Java byte  
code to Dex byte code compiler) could only consume Java 6 byte code.  
That was very recently fixed and almost all Java 7 features are  
supported on Android version greater than Gingerbread. The exception is  
try with resources which is only supported on KitKat.  

I havn't looked at the project yet to even get an idea for how much work  
it would be, but I suspect it will be rather minimal.
