Description

Z2 should finally adopt Java 7 completely. To this end, we should introduce a simple JVM property that allows to go back to Java 6 if desired.

Suggestion for property name: com.zfabrik.java.release with values {"1.6", "1.7"}.

All compilers, as far as meaningfully applicable, should interpret that setting correspondingly. We should not differentiate between source level and byte code version. The latter being typically the same.
