[wildfly-dev] wildfly 8 client library now requires Java 7 ?

[David M. Lloyd]

I've been building things with 1.7 and targeting them to 1.6 via 
seven2six.  So the following should all be 1.6 compatible (if they 
aren't then please let me know because it's a bug):

* org.jboss.marshalling:jboss-marshalling:jar:1.4.0.Final
* org.jboss.remoting:jboss-remoting:jar:4.0.0.Beta1
* org.jboss.sasl:jboss-sasl:jar:1.0.3.Final
* org.jboss.xnio:xnio-api:jar:3.1.0.CR7
* org.jboss.xnio:xnio-nio:jar:3.1.0.CR7
* org.jboss:jboss-dmr:jar:1.2.0.Final
* org.jboss.logging:jboss-logging:jar:3.1.3.GA
* org.jboss.logging:jboss-logging-annotations:jar:1.2.0.Beta1
* org.jboss.logging:jboss-logging-processor:jar:1.2.0.Beta1
* org.jboss.jdeparser:jdeparser:jar:1.0.0.Final
* org.jboss.threads:jboss-threads:jar:2.1.1.Final

In reality there is no actual benefit to the Java 7 class file format 
(other than simply preventing execution on 6 that is) so whenever 
possible I just transform my stuff to 1.6 (it's all otherwise compatible).
