> support
for J2SE-1.7 execution environment

Minor nit: I've seen references like
this in a few places, so just wanted to remind people that there is no
such thing as J2SE 1.7 or J2SE 7.0. Since Java 6 "J2SE" has been
replaced with "Java SE" [1]. The release name is "Java SE
7", and the JVM version number is 1.7. I just wanted to mention this
so we are consistent as we start to develop specific features for Java
7 in the next release.
