I increased all components to Java 7. I tested the compatibility through an Android Studio project, which is in cf-android
in the californium repo. Maybe someone can check the portability of this project, since I am new to IntelliJ…
Furthermore, I can confirm that both client and server run on Android without the issues mentioned in some of the bug
reports.

Subject: Re: [cf-dev] Java 6 support still required?
No objection.
At some point we need to explore how to automatically test the compatibility with Android JVM.
Hi there,
while going though Californium's components I noticed that Californium and Element-Connector both have their Java source and target level set to 1.6 whereas Scandium uses 1.7.
Some time ago I brought up the question whether we should move on to Java 8 and learned that we should stick with Java 7 (for the time being) because we have many users (in particular on embedded devices) who still use, and probably will continue to use, Java
7 for some time ahead. Granted.
However, is it really necessary to keep Californium and Element-Connector at Java 6? I'd rather have only one Java level throughout the whole Californium source code base. In particular because from my point of view we are not doing any compatibility checks
with a Java 6 VM anyways ...
Any objections to updating Californium's and Element-Connector's source/target level to 1.7?
Kai
