Not ideal. But workable. Indeed. I'm currently unsure how I am going to handle the incompatible upgrade mechanisms at this point. Side by side would be simplest but it depends on what that does to the low level connector code. >Getting the SCI compiled to be executable shouldn't be a problem.

The Java 7 features used are minimal ( <> and multi-catch). I'd prefer to keep them to make keeping the code in sync with 8 simpler but that would create a more "interesting" build. I guess they'll be being removed.
