Issue DURACLOUD-738: Java 7 support
This task is to transition DuraCloud to be built and run using Java 7. There are a few reasons for this transition: 1. Oracle has announced that Java 6 will hit end-of-life in Nov 2012 (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/eol-135779.html) 2. Java 7 has been available for over a year, and is becoming more prevalent 3. Java 7 has new capabilities. One specific need is the capability (in NIO) to read/write file creation, modification, and access timestamps 4. We need to support customer use of Java 7 with our client-side tools (e.g. sync tool)
