The cache-ri-impl isn't built for Java 6

[Jon Keatley]

I'm trying to use the JSR107 cache implementation 1.0 for a project, and I require libraries to work under Java 6. After encountering an error, I researched and saw that this library was built for 1.7. Is this really necessary? If you are using 1.7-only features, I understand. But a general-purpose library really ought to support back-level JDKs if possible -- especially for the version you push out to Maven Central. I understand that 1.6 is already in end-of-life, but my company (and many others) do not.

Hi

The RI is absolutely not meant to be used in production. It does not even have a size restriction on the cache.

The spec is compiled with 1.6. The tests and RI use 1.7 for convenience.
