Shalin and Shawn, thanks for your help! Just for the records, in case somebody else having the same problems will read this thread:

Everything works like a charm, all tests pass and I'm now looking forward to dig into the code. :-) cheers, Achim Am 31.05.2013 um 16:22 schrieb Shawn Heisey: > On 5/31/2013 4:17 AM, Shalin Shekhar Mangar wrote: >> The "trunk" requires Java7 but the 4.x releases are cut from branch_4x >> which is on Java6.
