Java 7 #158

Oracle does not support Java 6 in the sense that no more public updates will be issued. Java 7 has been around for over one year now. Perhaps it's time to upgrade, which involves project configuration, building, deploying and tomcat runtime.

We must check that Java 7 works with our code, testing every application in the project and making any necessary adjustments (for example, we already know that Java 7 brings some problem with XML parser).

I think the XML parser has to do with Apple version of Java 7 though we still need to do further investigations.

UniProt JAPI requires Java 7 since yesterday. A good kick to speed this task :smile:
