Re: [linuxtools-dev] Luna release and Java 7

I think it's safe to do the switch now. From what I gather of the discussions, it's either all EPP packages will require Java 7 or just specific ones. In any case, Linuxtools/CDT will be able to use Java 7 as long as it's well documented.

As we already build with Java 7, I propose to start using 1.7 in tests unconditionally aka builds would work only on Java 7 (already true for our releases) until some decision is taken.
