We need to discuss moving OFBiz over to Java 7.
I have been building and running OFBiz R13 on Oracle Java 7 for over a
month, and there were some minor compilation problems, but they were
easy to fix.
What do you
I think it's safe to move over to Java 7 without any changes.
I have run OFBiz locally - dev mode - for a long time using Java 7, until
recently where I moved back to Java 6 for other reasons.
What will be quite interesting is moving to Java 8, which IMO, we should
consider ASAP as it will be

I am also running Java 7 in my local (dev) box without problems since a couple
of months.
I think we should migrate the trunk but also the 13.07 release branch because
