Hi Colm, no, I don't see any compelling reason to make the switch in Syncope 1.2: doing it for Syncope 1.3 sounds reasonable anyway. Maybe this could also help finalizing 1.2.0 as soon as possible and then start working on 1.3 - which should also bring strong new features as Camel [1]. Shall I file an issue to be fixed in 1.3.0 for Java 7?
