Good point; Not sure whether JPA 2.1 per-se really requires Java 7, but I
understand as an implementation we'd be "allowed" to require Java 7 as per
the spec guidelines. So far, 6 seemed sufficient for our purposes.

You could also decide to use Java7 for the build but not necessarily

Yes, I thought about this as well, but it makes a difficult story to
explain (depending on whether you use JP-QL or not, and depending on the
backend you use, you may be use Java 6 or 7). I'd rather move to 7
altogether then and keep things a bit simpler.

+1 :-)
