There's now a patch (and instructions of a manual stage) to get hadoop to build on java7 on OSX
before I commit it, I need to make sure it doesn't break on any other platforms. Can anyone with Linux, Windows, PowerPC, Arm, whatever (and free time, obviously) and an openjdk7 or closed-jdk7, apply the patch and make sure the build still works https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-9350 -- CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE NOTICE: This message is intended for the use of the individual or entity to which it is addressed and may contain information that is confidential, privileged and exempt from disclosure under applicable law.
