The most important difference is that in Java7 we have symbolic links
and for most operations in the work tree we want to operate on the link
itself rather than the link target, which the old File methods generally
do.
We also add support for the hidden attribute, which only makes sense
on Windows and exists, just since there are claims that Files.exists
is faster the File.exists.
A new bundle is only activated when run with a Java7 execution
environment. It is implemented as a fragment.
Tycho currently has no way to conditionally include optional features
based on the java version used to run the build, this means with this
change the jgit packaging build always needs to be run using java 7.

Enforce the use of Java5 API:s only (with a few exceptions)
This only works with Eclipse 3.6 and newer and requires installation
of new package. Documentation is not very good, but there is a blog
about it here:

API checking is especially useful on OS X where Java5 is not readily
available.
