Therefore, according to Maven POM files, oVirt should be build-able using Java 6, but
it's not. (?)
These maven settings just tell the java compiler to accept Java 6 syntax
only and to generate a Java 6 compatible .class file format, but they
don't restrict the set of APIs that can be used.
The problem is in backend/manager/modules/bll:
StorageDomainCommandBase class uses new Java 7 Long.compare() static method.
I think we should decide if we want to be compliant with Java 7, or submit a patch that
uses Java 6 API (Long.compareTo instance method).

Subject: java 1.6 compatibility no more?
Hi,
It may be a historic moment, but for a few hours oVirt engine is no longer building on
java 1.6.
Is this intentional?
