Okay, I have no interest in fixing the site build on Java 1.6 because I
do not think it is worth the effort. I belief that not many users will
build the site, and even less will do this on a JDK 1.6. It may also
well be the case that it is not possible to come to a solution which
supports both Java 1.6 and 1.8.

So from my PoV we have the following options regarding this release:

a) Accept the RC as is and ignore this issue.

b) Add a note to the building documentation that the site build requires
a minimum JDK of 1.7. This is a change of the site and does not require
another RC.

c) Switch to JDK 1.7 for [configuration]. I do not think that this is a
good solution because then all Java 6 users are out of the game for no
good reason.

d) I step back as RM and make room for more capable people.

Please tell me your preference.
