Description

Java 6 is an old, unsupported thing. It is EOL since February 2013, and had the bad side effect of NOT being open source.

This is only on the server.

We have to check that all supported distribution actually have a Java 7 available.

It will allow to 1/ actually stop using a non supported JVM, 2/ take as hypothesis JVM 1.7 and all the related optimisation available (FINALLY a real concept of Unix file and so no more fork for chmod, a more efficient bytecode, etc)
