Since, with java.nio.file, most important changes introduced by Java 7 are syntactic sugar (Coin project), I was more thinking about
a continued effort, not limited in time, hence no need for a branch.
It would just require a decision and to turn OFBiz development to Java 7. But of course this is a community choice and we need neeed
more people interested before taking any decision...
