JDK support

(+1: claus, cmueller)
(-1: hadrian)

We should drop support for JDK6, and require JDK7 as minimim version. eg build and compile the release with JDK7.
We should aim to be compatible with JDK8.
(hz) Why? Isn't OpenJDK 6 still supported by RedHat and very much in use? Even Oracle's Java 6 is still in use. Maybe some bundles would require JDK7+, buy why not keep things like the api for instance still supported with Java 6? A strong argument may sway my opinion, but for now, I fail to see the reason.

JDK8 Java DSL

It would be good to have a camel-java8-dsl component that offers a JDK8 DSL which uses all the nice new stuff from JDK8 with higher order functions, closures, et all.
Though this may comes later in Camel 3.x when JDK8 is GA.
At least stuff like Predicate, Expression, AggregationStrategy etc. are "functional interfaces" (containing only one method) and Java 8 applications can implement them using lambdas. That's only a start, but it doesn't require a specific DSL.
