Hey all, Sorry for the threadomancy, but the discussion have become relevant again with the current issues with the libvirt library. Of course this could also be solved by updating the libvirt library with a jdk6 version. Still it might be good to revisit this topic.
It appears not to be possible to switch code style to 1.7 and produce a 1.6 compatible binary. I remember this working with olders versions, but didn't dig to much into this. So the new question in this thread will be, should we switch CloudStack to jdk 1.7?
