Compiling soapui 4.6.x from source fails with jdk6
Since at least the following commit
it is no longer possible to compile soapui from sources with a jdk 6 : this commit introduces generics version of swing classes, which appear in jdk 7.
Question : is this voluntary (dropping support for compiling with jdk 6) ?
Note that dropping jdk6 for compilation means that compiling with jdk7 should be parameterized with "-source 1.7 -target 1.6" to be able to run soapui with a java 6 jre/jdk. However, I'm not sure it is a very good idea to compile with a different source and target level...
If the intention is to drop support for compiling with a java 6 jdk, the README.md should state this in the prerequisites section.
Also, would be nice if the pom.xml was explicitly specifiying this, with the source and target configuration (as in http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-compiler-plugin/examples/set-compiler-source-and-target.html).
If this was not intentional or if compiling with jdk6 should be kept, there are 17 errors reported in the following 4 files :
It does not seem too difficult to remove java 7 specifics from there (i.e. I could work out a pull-request if there is interest).
