There are known issues with testsuite on JDK7.
first fully jdk7 compliant AS codebase is current AS8
commit that enables this is https://github.com/jbossas/jboss-as/commit/a355e54dfa02b514e8031bf3fa1ff206d2619a1e
but this ATM cannot be backported to EAP 6.x because it requires javassit version that has known issues at runtime see https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-6637
when javasisst is fixed, we can backport fixes to EAP 6.x so build/testsuite would work also on jdk7

> At one point there was a JIRA for OpenJDK 6, in fact I think a couple. The issue with OpenJDK 6 is in the build we use some JavaScript and OpenJDK 6 doesn't come with a JavaScript engine. I tried a couple things to get Rhino working with it as that's what the Sun JDK uses, but I think it needs to implement an SPI to get it to work. I didn't look into it much beyond that.
> JDK 7 is a different issue. It's a bug in the annotation processing API which the JBoss Logging Tooling uses. I just refreshed my OpenJDK 7 update source and it looks like the bug is fixed in there. It's fixed in IcedTea as well. There could be the JavaScript issue here as well I can't actually remember, but I thought I had some successful builds with custom JDK's I compiled.
> I did just try with IcedTea 7 and got some other errors. I'm building the latest upstream of OpenJDK 7 now and we'll see if it works. I'll let you know either way.
> Let me know if you have any more questions on this. I did dig into a while ago a little.
